Zabbix implements email alarm and zabbix email alarm

Zabbix implements email alarm and zabbix email alarm

Note:

The Zabbix monitoring server and client have been deployed. The monitored host has been added, and Zabiix monitoring runs normally.

Purpose:

Set email alarms on the Zabbix server. When the monitored host goes down or reaches the preset trigger value, an alert email is automatically sent to the specified mailbox.

Specific operations:

The following operations are performed on the Zabbix Monitoring Server:

Note: Zabbix Monitoring Server

Operating System: CentOS

Use an external email account to send alarm email settings:

1. Disable sendmail or postfix

Service sendmail stop # disable

Chkconfig sendmail off # disable startup

Service postfix stop

Chkconfig postfix off

Note:

You do not need to start sendmail or postfix when using an external email account.

If you use an external email address to send an alarm email when sendmail or postfix is enabled, the system first reads the external email address.

Configuration information.

Ii. Install mailx

Yum install mailx # Installation

Mailx is compiled and installed in CentOS 5.x. The mailx version directly installed in yum is too old. If you use external mail to send emails, there will be problems.

Yum remove mailx # uninstall the old version mailx that comes with the System

Download mailx:

Http://nchc.dl.sourceforge.net/project/heirloom/heirloom-mailx/12.4/mailx-12.4.tar.bz2

Tar jxvf mailx-12.4.tar.bz2 # Extract

Cd mailx-12.4 # Go To The Directory

Make # compile

Make install UCBINSTALL =/usr/bin/install # install

Ln-s/usr/local/bin/mailx/bin/mail # create a soft connection from mailx to mail

Ln-s/etc/nail. rc/etc/mail. rc # create a soft connection to the mailx configuration file

3. Configure Zabbix server external mailbox

Vi/etc/mail. rc # edit and add the following information

Set from = xxx@163.com smtp = smtp.163.com // Add a sender, sending server

Set smtp-auth-user = xxx@163.com smtp-auth-password = 123456 // Add send hot mailbox and login password.

Set smtp-auth = login

: Wq! # Save and exit

Echo "zabbix test mail" | mail-s "zabbix" yyy@163.com

# Test sent mail, title zabbix, mail content: zabbix test mail, sent to the mailbox: yyy@163.com

# At this time, the mailbox yyy@163.com will receive a test mail from the xxx@163.com
