Zabbix Alert Notifications

Hello!

I’ve been working on setting up Zabbix to replace our existing monitoring solution. So far almost everything is going well, but the alert notifications have been a little tricky.

One thing that was really nice about our old monitoring solution was it could send multiple alerts as a single email. For instance, if we lost multiple ping sensors (either to a site being down, or multiple server reboots, etc.) instead of sending me one email for each ping sensor, it would combine them into a single email saying “Hey, all 30 of these sensors are down.” I’ve been trying to find a similar solution to use with Zabbix.

Has anyone had any luck creating something like that? I’m not unopposed to other methodologies for alerting, I’m ultimately looking for a solution for my team that doesn’t make them lose track of a situation because they have to sort through 100 alert emails.

Thanks!

I don’t believe that is possible. If you do end up getting a flood of emails the team should be handling the escalations from the zabbix dashboard and not email. Leaving notes, changing severity, and so on for the rest of the team to be up to date on the issue.
