    Check connectivity through multiple interfaces on zabbix server

    Hi. I need help with the following:

    I need to perform regular checks con certain internet resources from multiple classrooms, each on it's own vlan.
    I've been given a VM with multiple network interfaces (bridges), one for each classroom. I intend to install a zabbix server on that VM and perform regular checks from there.

    The problem is that I can't find info on how to tell zabbix to send the pings or other checks through all of it's interfaces. What I need zabbix to do is mimic the behaviour of someone sitting on a PC from each classroom and pinging the same external IP (or checking other ports via telnet or whatever).

    ¿Any ideas?

    Thanks.

    Zabbix components don't offer any IP packet routing functionality, they rely on the underlying OS/network stack to take care of packet delivery.

    The Zabbix-level solution is to install a Zabbix proxy on each of the source networks and then run the ping or other check on them.
