Hi,
I have some strange behaviour I don't understand. When I have a Host with 2 NICs and associated DNS entries my simple Discover using ICMP Ping finds the host as 2 devices - sort of what I expect. The Discover Action is to add the host to discovered hosts group if it is found as a result of that rule AND Up. So far so good.
However, if I edit the default host device to add a secondary interface (also of type Agent), ensure the interface on the network I want to be the main one is marked as default and then once that is done remove the secondary host device discovered - hoping it won't refind it and add it again - after a while the default interface on the main host is overwritten with the secondary interface resulting in 2 matching interaces on it and loss of contact with agent
Is this normal and what am I not understanding or do people normally just tolerate having 2 host devices when a server has 2 (or more) NICs?
It seems to happen whether I use IP or DNS to configure the host device.
Sorry about the complex verbosity , hopefully I have explained this enough. It is all Zabbix 7.4.8
