monitor dhcp based hosts

[rileo8]

Hi,
i need to monitor a lot (like 1 hundred routers) hosts with dynamic ip.
When ip change the new ip is updated into a database.
How can i configure (if is possible) zabbix server so that it takes the ip from thata database?

Thanks,Riccardo

DHCP server can feed DNS

if you enter only the names of the devices in zabbix and get the DHCP server to update the DNS (good practice anyway) then this shouldn't give any problems.

Greetings,

The method Michel mentioned is a good one, however, I suspect you are looking for a bit more. The way I read your question it sounds like you want Zabbix to capture the actual IP address of the routers as they change, as well as the normal monitoring. If so, you will want to create a small script that queries the DNS information and using zabbix_sender, sends the data to the zabbix server.
