    ec2 auto-registration public IP ?

    Hi,

    I'm using the auto-registration feature in a Amazon EC2 environment and have been able to register the node successfully .

    The problem I that the node is registered in the Zabbix server by using it's private instance IP. Unfortunately the server is not located in AWS only the nodes are so Zabbix server cannot reach the agent by using the node private IP.

    I would like to use the node hostname that is also the DNS translating to the incense public IP address.

    Can someone tell me if this is possible ? Please I need your help...

    Regards,
    N.

      I can recommend you solution which is using company where I'm working now. If you have VPC support just organize zabbix proxy inside VPC and proxy will be doing all AD work for you where AD setup will be spread centrally fro zabbix server. I'm not sure is possible to organize something like this if you are using EC-2 without VPC.
      Only guessing that still it should be possible to implement such functionality in some way.

      Every our AWS host has additional template which keeps for example public address of the host. Host in zabbix is registered usig private DNS name. Such hostname is additionally registered in inventory so you can easy find public address some host if you have a lot of such hosts (we have few hundredths so quick identification of some faulting host is quite important ).

          Thank you kloczek but unfortunately we have a diverse and mixed environment , nodes located in physical data centres and Amazon regions .. The use of VPC or Zabbix proxy is not an option at the moment.

          I need to find a way to have the nodes auto-registering with the public DNS as a value or by using the system hostname which has the same effect.
