virtual host on zabbix

[BlackCrystal]

is it possible to configure a virtual host and get data for monitoring from that? (not virtual machine)
since it is a virtual host, there is no where to install zabbix agent.

What kind of environment does the environment you call "virtual host" specifically indicate?
Please clarify and define the definition of words.

i have 2 servers. there is databases on them. one of them with ip 170.1.1.1 is active and the other one with ip 170.1.1.2 is standby. there is a virtual ip 170.1.1.3 that application servers connect via that. if something happens to the active server it will takeover and standby become active but application servers doesn't sense anything. i wanted to monitor this virtual ip to see if it is working and application servers does not have trouble for connection.

Is that a clustering environment using two servers?
If so, OS level monitoring installs and monitors Zabbix agent on each server. Database service monitoring can be accessed from the Zabbix server using the IP address for the service to obtain the necessary metrics.
Another way to monitor whether the application server can retrieve values from the database is to access the application server from the Zabbix server and return whether the application server can retrieve values from the database.

yes clustering environment. would you please mention some references that i can use? from zabbix server you mean the main server?how?

Zabbix can monitor anything as the state of the objects is possible to represent by numbers and strings.
