Monitor IP Address Change

[mrogers-9898]

I'd like my zabbix to notify me if any of my agents have their Public/WAN IP address changed.

I'm hoping that there are built-in items/fields I can access to do this? Or would I have to make a UserParameter item in the zabbix_agent.conf to somehow check for the IP address and monitor that?

I see that there is a macro for IPADDRESS, would this be something I could apply? (I'm not really sure if/how it can be added into the item?)

All of my agents are active.

all of my hosts are Windows based.

To do what you are wanting to do you will need to write a script/user parameter ("ip addr" will work for unprivilaged users on some systems) and then use a trigger. Maybe something like last(#1)=last(#2).

thanks very much for the reply, that is what I suspected.

As mentioned, most systems are Windows, from Server 2003 to Server 2008. Anyone have any suggestions on a script/proggy to check the WAN IP?
