Topic has been unattended for some time, but all your github links are giving me 404 errors...

I'm sure you are aware of this, but just in-case.. I wanted to check out your agent installer for windows scripts.

cheers.

Thanks so much for you quick responses... knowing I got those settings dialed in allowed my brain to stop focusing on them and look elsewhere.

After reading some more documentation... there is an added step that I didn't realize I had to do. I must have missed it before because I was too focused on SMTP settings...

Administration > User Groups > Permissions --- by default 'All Groups' was set to 'None' instead of 'Read-Write' which means any user in that group wasn't allowed to read host data. Why that is a default config idk...

Thanks for you help, I changed that setting and boom! Emails came through. #bestforumsEver.

@scottalanmiller

i saw that too, but it sends after. maybe something to do with the domain IP being an ipv6 address? The next line it connects successfully using an ipv4 address. I definitely received an email from this test.

Further info: I did make sure that my user i'm logged in as and sending to are both 'super zabbix admins'

What settings should be populated in 'SMTP: helo' and 'SMTP: email' ?
I assume I don't have to use a real email address (like yahoo, gmail, o365, etc) for the smtp email (since the 'mail' command successfully sends as 'zabbixv3@localdomain' ).

My Settings (with my domain swapped out for 'mydomain.tv')
**[email protected] isn't a real email outside of this config

SMTP Server : localhost
SMTP Server Port: 25
SMTP helo: mydomain.tv
SMTP email: Zabbix-Alerts <[email protected]>
connection Security: None
Authentication: None

@scottalanmiller

yes the mail command by itself works fine and shows up in logs.

[root@zabbixv3 ~]# echo "test message" | mail -s "test email for postfix" [email protected]
[root@zabbixv3 ~]# cat /var/log/maillog

@mike-davis said in Zabbix - email alerts:

under Administration -> Media Types -> email

that's the one! Email alerts aren't working for me either, and I found this thread.. Unfortunately haven't been able to get it going yet, nothing shows in the logs /var/log/maillog yet either, so it is probably something easy I am missing.

Happy to start a new thread if needs be

I realize this topic is aging out, but can we get a screen shot of what the localhost config should look like in Zabbix to get it all buttoned up?

I'm stuggling with the same issues, but I don't have info on what to put in all the other fields to make this work using the local postfix server.

I don't want to create a whole seperate email just to set up email alerts if postfix is already running.

Thanks
