How can use ICMPING from second network interface

[bab]

I have a linux host with 2 interface
eth0 = 10.20.30.40
eth1= 192.168.20.20

Now I have added my host with eth0 by agent t o zabbix . Now I need icmping from eth1 to destination "192.168.40.20" How can do this ? because by default i will do icmping from eth0

You need to configure static route on the host. Commands:

ip route (shows the routes)

sudo ip route add 192.168.40.20/32 via <whatever is the next-hop router in the 192.168.20.x network>

When you get it working, use your favourite search engine to find out how to save that configuration persistently on your Linux distribution.

But I don't want changes on the OS . How can zabbix handle this issue ?

[Markku]

IP routing on the host is something that Zabbix cannot do as that's the host networking stack that decides that.

But I though there is a template such as icmping that we can also define source in addition destination

Please do tell us if you find a Zabbix-level solution (without touching the OS). For the record, there is the documentation for icmpping item: https://www.zabbix.com/documentation.../simple_checks
