zabbix monitoring without IP address or dynamic IP(not dhcp)

[chise2651]

Hi!

I am a newbie here setting up zabbix like below

AWS ←internet→ local device(has global IP address but dynamic)
*this device regularly disconnect and reconnect its PPPOE tunnel and subscriber session. so, IP is dynamic but no DHCP

To monitoring this local device, I have searched for long and found [zabbix agent active]. (If I'm wrong, please let me know)
and try to configure it like below. (If I'm wrong, please let me know)

AWS(zabbix)←internet→ local device(zabbix agent)
*on local device's zabbix agent, I guess I need to set up ServerIP(AWS zabbix's IP?) to be enabled monitoring.

by this configurationg, I would like to monitoring if [local device] is dead or alive. is this possible?

Or, if there is anyother method to monitoring this uniq dynamic IP device, Please teach me :'(

This is similar to an active agent config https://blog.zabbix.com/zabbix-agent...-passive/9207/

You need to remember that the interface IP in zabbix will be wrong, so I set mine to 127.0.0.1 or something. I have an item push the current device IP frequently, mostly for documentation. Pick some frequently updated item, or create one, monitor unavailability with the nodata() trigger on that item.

I use a nodata() trigger AND ping for my reachable hosts, nodata() is "zabbix agent not responding", both nodata() and ping failing is host unreachable.

LenR,

Thank you so much for the answer!!

I read thru the blog above, and had few questions.

1. [You need to remember that the interface IP in zabbix will be wrong, so I set mine to 127.0.0.1 or something. ]
is this for server and server active both?

2.what kinda item can push the current device IP frequently?

3. I kinda not get it [nodata() trigger]thing.

I am really sorry but I am really newbie about zabbix... could you please teach me more detail?
