Zabbix - email alerts

[Mike Davis]

Before I google and find some random guide on how to setup email alerts for a Zabbix server, does someone have a guide I can follow?

@Mike-Davis It's been a while, is it not in the management pane?

@travisdh1 I believe you have to get postfix working and my linux skills are pretty weak.

You should be able to just use the PHP built in tool to do the emails as well. My server at home got hit with a power outage... waiting on it come back up, lol.

You can use a SMTP Server like Office365 we do

Administration -> Media Types -> Email:

Edit your user(s) and add an "Email" Media type...
(Admin -> Users -> Media).

Then Create an Action for the trigger(s) you want an email on (Configuration -> Action -> Event Source (dropdown, top right) -> Triggers. Click Create Action.

Name it, set the conditions, and then on the 'operations tab, tell it to 'Send A Message' pick your users (or groups)

Click the little Add link ('not the blue button!'), and then click the 'Add' button.

That should get you going. I'll do up a guide for it this weekend if you still have problems.

@dafyre Thanks. I added an email address to our administrator account which is already set to get notifications. I'll see the next time something is triggered if we get an email.
