Host with 2 interfaces

[TheBonaZabbix]

Dear all,
I've an host with 2 interfaces


how can i refer to the interfaces ?
HOST.CONN works (it is converted to the IP of the SNMP interface)
I was hoping HOST.CONN2 would convert to the other IP but not.

Anyone have a suggestion please?
I've been searching the internet all day but can't find anything about it.

Thank you

Andrea

Before searching the Internet, you need to look in the documentation.
Take a close look at the list of macros and pay attention to the «Supported in» and footnotes.

Hi,
I have read the documentation but it is not clear to me, sorry !

I try to show my configuration.
These are the item associated to the host



I would like to add a widget to the dashboard that summarizes the status of the pings (for each interface) , like this


How can refer to the Host Agent interface (with IP 10.3.XX) ?

Many many thanks !
Have a good day

Just create an prototype for ping test in internal LLD rule via zabbix[host,discovery,interfaces]

[TheBonaZabbix]

I give up.
It is too complicated.
I do not understand anything.
Why discovery ? I already know what are the IPs for each host.

Thanks

Why discovery? Then you can have ping towards all interfaces...
Currently you seem to have ping only towards that SNMP interface IP...

[TheBonaZabbix]

Dear,
I'm sorry but I'm very confused.

I've created this Discovery rule for my host

The TEST returns

....and now ?

What other operations/configuration are missing?
How can use these results ?

Thanks for your precious help

Dear,
can you give me some additional information?
I would be really grateful.
I can't figure it out either with the documentation or with my internet searches.
Please.

Thank you

Now add item prototypes...

https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/current/en/manual/discovery/low_level_discovery

[TheBonaZabbix]

Thanks but the doc is incomprehensible for my little brian.

This is my Discovery rule (type Zabbix internal)

I've to add Item Prototypes ?
How ?

Which Type ? Zabbix Internal ?
And the key ?

I can't figure out if I'm stupid or what I'm trying to do is difficult.

[TheBonaZabbix]

Hi all.
Could anyone help me on how to configure the ITEM prototype ?
An example would be great.
Sorry if I insist but really, I've been spending several hours on the Internet without finding a clear example.

My scenario is simple:
I have a host (router) with two network interfaces.
One (public) interface supports SNMP queries (so on this interface I have to do the classic ping plus some SNMP queries)
On the other (private) interface, pinging is sufficient
If the public is not responding the status for the host should be ERROR
If the private does not respond (but the public responds) the status for the host should be WARNING.

That's all.

I am going crazy.
The documentation doesn't help me
Thank you all for the help and I apologize again for my insistence.

Name: Interface[{#IF.IP}]
Type. simple check
key: icmpping[{#IF.IP}]

Rest of it you should be able to figure out... like data type (integer) and polling interval...

[TheBonaZabbix]

Cyber, many thanks for you help.
I'll test it as soon as I have time and let you know.
Thank you !!!

[TheBonaZabbix]

Dear Cyber,
with your help I can discover the interfaces. Many thanks.

Last question...
I'm trying to add in a dashboard a widget that contains each IP, like this


The text {HOST.IP1} or {HOST.IP2} are not converted in the value (IP address) discovered.
How can refer to these discovery values ?

Many thanks
Have a good week

[db100]

is it possible to define 2 interfaces of the same type for high-availability?

in particular defining 2 agent interfaces onto 2 different hosts, and so zabbix server will choose the default interface if available, otherwise switch onto the second one. is this possible to achieve somehow ?
