One host, multiple IPs

[pablo.rosciani]

Hi, its possible to assing 2 or more IPs to a host?

[pablo.rosciani]

Nobody?

[Alexei]

Yes, it is possible. It just doesn't sound like a ZABBIX related question.

[pablo.rosciani]

Alexei, obviously im talking about ZABBIX, i want to know how to add a new host (in ZABBIX) setting 2 IPs or more IPs for this new host.

Here is the situation.. I want to monitor in the same host 2 services but the services run in differents IPs, how can i do that without creating 2 hosts?

I hope you understand now.

One more thing.. i can't use zabbix_agent just simple checks.

[Alexei]

I see. You may take advantage of simple checks. For example,

http,123.4.5.6 - will monitor WEB server running on 123.4.5.6
http,123.4.5.7 - will monitor WEB server running on 123.4.5.7

Thanks Alexei, this is what i looking for

Take note: Add these option to the documentatio.


Bye and thanks again

I thought it was already in the doc's...

The doc's dont cover every scenario or possibility of an option, a little bit of improv goes a long way with open source software.

Hi folks,

Is it possible to do the same with icmpping....
Because I have to monitor a router with 3 interfaces...how can i do ?

http,123.4.5.6 - will monitor WEB server running on 123.4.5.6
http,123.4.5.7 - will monitor WEB server running on 123.4.5.7

I'm not sure I get it. I put this http,123.4.5.6 in the key field?

What if I need a custom port? Can I put 8080,123.4.5.6 in the key field?

This is explained pretty well in the documentation here. For a custom port, your key would be net.tcp.service[http,123.4.5.6,8080].

Two IP addresses to one host

Hi all,

i want to set up two ip addresses to the same host. I will check router with connection ofer dsl and over isdn for backup.

For default the dsl is use, but if the connection is down over the dsl interface i have to monitor the router over isdn. Have anyone an idea how to implement this?

thanks for your help

[krusty]

Hi, does nobody know what i mean?

I need urgently a resolution. Please help.

[krusty]

Does nobody have the same problem to monitor one host for example one router with to wan interfaces (isdn and dsl). If the router connection over dsl goes down i want to monitor the router over isdn. And if the connection ofer dsl is running once again the zabbix should change from isdn ip to dsl ip. I hope anybody understood what i am looking for?

Please, can anybody help me?

[Alexei]

Why don't you want to setup two hosts with two different IP addresses?

[krusty]

Why don't you want to setup two hosts with two different IP addresses?

Because, one host get two IPs, one to WAN interface and one to the isdn (backup) interface. Sure i can setup two hosts, but the isdn interface should only used when the wan interface is down. If i create two hosts (the same host) with the different IPs, i alway monitor both of them. But this is not okay, because ofer ISDN i have to pay for traffic and ofer WAN i do not pay for traffic (DSL flat rate).
I hope you understand my problem.
