monitoring through specific IP

[fallwor]

Hello,

My monitoring server is on connected with 2 interfaces. 1 directly outside of the premises (internet) and another on the internal network, which also has internet access. The internal network though is very saturated. Zabbix sends all requests through that internal network, while it 'should' send the requests through the external network. This makes that some of the monitoring (loadspeeds) are incorrect.

I have looked, but I could not find ny setting within zabbix to do this. Did I overlook something or do I need to use another method?


Thanks

It is the ip routing setup on your server that control the path of your traffic not zabbix. Take a talk with your local network admin or look with "netstat -rn" etc.

Hey Eskytthe,

Thanks for the tip. I'll sit down and talk with myself and google.

OK
It is not so complicated but the configuration differ between linux dist.
