SMS Installation for Zabbix

Setup sms.sh

  1. Copy sms.sh to the path specified by the alertscriptspath field in your zabbix-server.conf.
  2. Ensure that zabbix has execute permissions for sms.sh.
  3. Go into the script and edit in your Twilio account SID and authentication token.

Frontend Configuration

Media Type setup

  1. Create a new Media Type.
  2. Set the type to Script.
  3. Set the script name to sms.sh.
  4. Create 3 parameters with the following values:
    1. {ALERT.SENDTO}
    2. <your_twilio_number>
    3. {ALERT.MESSAGE}

User setup

In the Media tab of a user's settings, add a new media item with the newly created Media Type from the above section. Set the Send to field to be the user's phone number (in international format).

Action setup

Create a new action. The message field is what will be sent through sms. Take into consideration the length of the message, as a long message will result in it being split into multiple parts. This results in higher Twilio charges since they bill per message, not per request.
