Zabbix 6.0 - Media type test failed

[V-Vesely]

Hi,
please I have trouble with sending of message from Zabbix 6.0 via Signal (13.3) . Mannualy message via signal.sh works (I receive it) but from Zabbix when I Test media type "Signal" - test failed: "Failed to read local accounts list."
Permissions for signal.sh are: -r-xr-xr-x zabbix zabbix

Please did you meet with similar trouble?

Thank you

Dear @V-Vesely,
Not everything is so simple, because you need to clearly configure signal-cli in the zabbix user environment, that is, in the user environment that will actually start the process of sending the message. See more details here: https://blog.zabbix.com/getting-your-notifications-via-signal/13286/

Hi
thank you for reaction. I did all steps in this manual but

when permissions for signal.sh are set as in the manual:

in Zabbix Media type „Signal“ test return me this error message:

when I set permission by this way I got other error message:

When I send test message via signal.sh directly from linux command line – I receive message without problem

Now I don´t know when I did the failure

Thank you for your time

Dear @V-Vesely,
Again, you need to make sure that there is a hidden subdirectory with the correct settings for signal-cli in the /var/lib/zabbix home directory, which should belong to the zabbix user (see /etc/passwd). Also, you must run all signal-cli checks in the console as the zabbix user, not as root or some other user.
Can you show how you would run the signal-cli test in the console?

Hi,
Iam login to console as user: user

/etc/passwd :

Is my situation better to see?

Thank you

Dear @V-Vesely,
No, it won't work like that. The initial registration and other settings of signal-cli must be run on behalf of the zabbix user, i.e. the code command must start like this:
sudo su - zabbix signal-cli...

Only after that, subdirectories and configuration files for signal-cli will be automatically created in the /var/lib/zabbix home directory, information from which will be used for further sending or receiving messages.

Hello,
it works now - it was enough create home directory for zabbix user ...
Thank you a lot for your help
