Nagios Support Forum

Greetings,

I have a high-availability NAGIOS server and I need Nagios Core to use a virtual IP to check instead of its own local IP address

My Nagios server is:
- Nagios Core 4.2.4
- CentOS 7

On SNMP clientaddr is used to make this possible for the client but I can't see any way to reproduce it in the nagios server itself

Any help will be appreciated, thank you

Regards

It sounds like your operating system is what is going to need to define the virtual IP as the Nagios product is simply interfacing with the operating system. It might be possible to do something with Apache for the web interface but the monitoring engine is simply using the operating system network stack.

Thank you for your reply

I use Pacemaker for the high-availability Nagios and to assign the virtual IP. It doesn't work if we redirect the virtual IP to the local IP using Apache
We use Gearman for the active checks but the problem is that it is using the OS IP and not the virtual one

Regards

Unfortunately that is currently a limitation of Nagios and/or Gearman.

It's a shame. Thank you very much for your time
