Monitoring multiple interfaces on the same same server

[Geethanjali]

Hi,

We have a server with many IP addresses on the same server. We currently have a zabbix agent which monitors only one IP address (which is a default IP address in host configuration). We want zabbix to monitor all the IPs on that server ( for availability and other parameters). The current zabbix agent template applies for the default IP address and not the other IPs. Can someone help us with how to go monitor all the IPs on this server?

Thanks,
Geethanjali

Beginning with Zabbix 2.0 one can configure multiple interfaces per host. But items for additional host interfaces have to be configured and assigned manually.

Another way could be for example, to use LLD to add items with simpe checks against non default ip addresses. This could be put into a generic template and no additional configuration is needed.
Major drawbacks is there is no "real" connection between host and additional ip addresses. So Zabbix agent based items can not be assigned to these addresses.
