AX Zabbix Trigger Alert HTML Template

AX Zabbix Trigger Alert HTML Template

Default Zabbix trigger email alerts is not too attractive. Some tips on how to fix this and do something similar to it:

Alert email:

Recovery email:

Instalation

1. Install sendEmail

$ sudo apt-get install sendemail

2. Find AlertScriptsPath in Zabbix configuration file:

$ cat /etc/zabbix/zabbix_server.conf | grep AlertScriptsPath
### Option: AlertScriptsPath
# AlertScriptsPath=${datadir}/zabbix/alertscripts
AlertScriptsPath=/usr/lib/zabbix/alertscripts
$cd /usr/lib/zabbix/alertscripts

3. Create new alert script:

$ sudo nano html_email.sh

4. Paste following or simmilar content, don't forget to fill it with your real SMTP data.

#!/bin/sh
export [email protected]
export zabbixemailto="$1"
export zabbixsubject="$2"
export zabbixbody="$3"
export smtpserver=localhost # or your SMTP server
export smtplogin=SMTP_LOGIN
export smtppass=SMTP_PASSWORD
/usr/bin/sendEmail -f $smtpemailfrom -t $zabbixemailto -u $zabbixsubject \-m $zabbixbody -s $smtpserver:25  -o tls=no \-o message-content-type=html 

5. Login to your Zabbix GUI and go to Administration -> Media Types -> Email

6. Change type to Script and put 'html_email.sh' into script name.

7. Add next script parameters and click Update:

{ALERT.SENDTO}
{ALERT.SUBJECT}
{ALERT.MESSAGE}

8. Open Email alert action tab: Configuration -> Action -> Event source [Triggers] -> Report problems to Zabbix administrators

9. Copy/paste to Operations Default message content from file templates/alert.html and to Recovery operations from templates/recovery.html

10. Click Update.

ax-zabbix-html-template's Issues

Installation Step 8

On Zabbix 5.2 there is no

Configuration -> Action -> Event source [Triggers] -> Report problems to Zabbix administrators

Under configuration->actions[sic] all there are two tabs "action" and "operations". Nothing is labelled "Event source [Triggers]".

Enable TLS in script

Hi, @dimuskin

We use office365 for email, so I need to enable the TLS to send the email.

In the command line, it works whit this:
sendEmail -f [email protected] -t [email protected] -u "Message title" -m "The body of the message" -s servergohere -o tls=yes -xu username -xp password

I need to add:
-o tls=yes
To be able to send a test message.

But inside your script, I am not able to send an email :( I got this error in zabbix:
Dec 28 12:12:56 zabbix-server sendEmail[59626]: ERROR => Connection attempt to smtp.office365.com:porthere failed: IO::Socket::INET6: connect: Connection refused

I am 100% sure that I need to add tls=yes in the script.

Do you have an idea for this?

Thanks again

CPU Usage and Load is always UNKNOWN

This happens with both Linux and OS/X clients. See the attached screenshot.

UTF8 support

Hi, is it possible to add support for UTF8 into your html?

The actual utf8 meta doesn't work.

I try multiple meta and same issue. Maybe it was something from the script or zabbix?

Do you have an idea for this?

Thanks again
