Configure email alert in Zabbix3.0

Configure email alert in Zabbix3.0

After setting up the Zabbix server and creating monitoring metrics and triggers, how can I use my mailbox to enable the alarm function? This article uses mail as the mail sending tool.

The following describes how to install and configure a mailbox.

Let's just talk about it! We will install the mail sending tool in two steps, and configure the Zabbix server to send alarm emails in the second step.

1. Install and set up mail

Install email support

Yum install postfix

Systemctl start postfix

Systemctl enable postfix

Verification: ss-lntp

Install mail

Yum-y install bzip2 openssl-devel wget patch gcc-c ++
Cd/opt
Wget 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
Wget http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/patches/blfs/7.6/mailx-12.4-openssl_1.0.0_build_fix-1.patch # download Patch pack
Patch-Np1-I mailx-12.4-openssl_1.0.0_build_fix-1.patch # patch pack
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
Whereis mailx # view the installation path
Mailx-V # view version information

Edit sender and email server information

Vi/etc/nail. rc
Add the configuration file:
Set from = xxxxxx0@163.com # set the default sender
Set smtp = smtp.163.com # smtp Server
Set smtp-auth-user = xxxxxx@163.com # set the sender mailbox for authentication
Set smtp-auth-password = 12345678 # logon password
Set smtp-auth = login # Allow Logon
(Modify email information according to your own situation !)

Restart --> systemctl restart postfix

Test email sending

Echo "email content" | mail-s "Email Subject" xxxxxx @ 163 (recipient's email address)
For example:
Echo "--- Hello Word! --- "| Mail-s" Message "xxxxxx@163.com

Ii. Zabbix Server Configuration

Configure the zabbix configuration file vim/etc/zabbix/zabbix_server.conf

AlertScriptsPath =/usr/lib/zabbix/alertscripts # put the mail sending script in the configuration path

Script content:

[Root @ zabbix_server alertscripts] # cat sendmail. sh
#! /Bin/sh
Messages = 'echo $3 | tr' \ r \ n' \ N''
Subject = 'echo $2 | tr' \ r \ n' \ N''
Echo "$ {messages}" | mail-s "$ {subject}" $1>/tmp/sendmail. log 2> & 1

Restart zabbix
