Two interfaces monitoring with Zabbix 2.0

[Scarab]

Could someone please help me:

I have a couple of cisco routers, which has two pingable interfaces: external (for example, 10.0.2.1) and VPN (10.0.1.1). I want to monitor both of them.

I've tried to create host and add two interfaces of "zabbix agent" type:
10.0.1.1 test-gw-int
10.0.2.1 test-gw-ext

after i created two simple check items: "icmpping[{HOST.IP1}]" and "icmpping[{HOST.IP2}]", and two according triggers: "{HOST.DNS1} is unreachable" and "{HOST.DNS2} is unreachable".

But no luck: if i put one of interfaces down, i got 0 on both items and two triggers are armed: "test-gw-int is unreachable" (that's correct), and "{HOST.DNS2} is unreachable" (suddenly, macros isn't resolved).

Could someone please tell me:
- How interfaces are counted in macros (HOST.IP1, HOST.IP2 etc)?
- What does "default interface" means? This is not described in documentation.

May be i'm doing something wrong? Could someone please correct me?

Hi,

I have the same problem, but just with webservers and ip based vhosts.

I´m using zabbix_proxy to monitor the webservers, does this matter?

Did you get any solution?

Same problem here =/

There are two forms to do that now (in my noob humble opinion):

1 - Create itens like: icmpping[{$X1}], icmpping[{$X2}], icmpping[{$X3}] and set the macro values on the host. I´m using that and it's working so far...

2 - Create itens like: icmpping[10.0.2.1], icmpping[10.0.2.2], icmpping[10.0.2.3]. It works too, but i'd rather the first option.

Anyway, sorry for my poor english.

Because it goes about many webservers i will use option 1. Also the item checks are in a template and i can use the macros there.
