    Zabbix Postgres db moniting ( Virtual hosts )

    zabbix client v.1.8

    I plan to use zabbix to monitor postgresql database server. here is my scenario.

    hostname: db01
    virtual host name: dbmaster

    hostname: db02
    virtual host name: dbslave

    Ideally i would like to monitor dbmaster and dbslave and not db01/02, as we have different sets of checks for master and replica. so that when we switch role, all the checks related to master continue to run on right host.

    Currently i have my checks defined in /etc/zabbix/zabbix-agentd.conf as

    UserParameter=pgsql.ping,/path/to/some/script

    With this current setup i have to maintain two different sets of conf files and manually switch on server when i switch master/slave roles.

    Is there any better way of doing this ? I am thinking of running all this checks from remote host ( is that possible ? )

    Any suggestion ?

    Thanks,
Working...
