Web scenario for a website on differents servers

[alucard95]

Hi all,

I have a website hosted on 2 servers behind a load balancer. How can I make a web scenario ( 2 in fact ) which check the website on a specific server? Is there a way to specify the host on which to check the website ?

I don't know if it is possible, i search a solution with http header (like host http://drewish.com/content/2010/03/u..._load_balancer) but i don't how to do this on zabbix web scenario.

thank you in advance,

regard,

Well - thats the trick of a loadbalancer: you cannot select a certain host.

Possible solutions:

1) The webservers have still a visible, public IP (so you can check each server)

2) If the webservers are in a different (private) network, you can setup some kind of port forwarding on the loadbalancer (eg. port 5000 is forwarded to the first webserver on 192.168.1.1:80, 5001 to 192.168.1.2:80).

thanks for your answer.

yes, zabbix server has access to the private network. I agree with your solution but i prefer avoid to modify load balancer config. maybe i can use dnat on the zabbix server to force the destination on some port.

thanks
