Latency Monitoring via two separate Gateways (2x ISP connections)

[AndrewBBuckley]

Good Morning All,

Thank you for the interest shown in advanced.

At the moment I have Zabbix 4.0 installed and running.

Apart from SNMP monitoring that I have already setup and am very happy with - What i would like to achieve is monitor the latency to the same Server via two separate ISP connections.

Scenario:

I have two gateways available on my network (x.x.x.1 and x.x.x.2) - Both provide internet connectivity from different ISPs.

I would like to record and graph the latency to Google - 8.8.8.8 (for example) - but would like to have one graph to monitor the latency via gateway .1 and another via gateway .2.


I have seen that the functionality is there to monitor latency to a server via my Zabbix server - however how can i specify the gateway that is used to perform the ICMP ping to.

Should you require any further information please let me know and I will do my best to provide.

Thanks once again.
Andrew

I think the easiest way is use simple icmp check to 8.8.8.8 via default route via isp1 and set custom route via isp2 to 8.8.4.4 for example. More advanced way is using docker container with zabbix proxy and set up user defined docker network interface with another gateway.
