As with almost every application, this is controlled by the routing tables of your Operating System. Unless you specify a more specific route out a different interface for your destinations, the OS will always route traffic out your default gateway interface, sourced from that interface. This question has come up before and though I am not authoritative on plugin development (which you are really talking about), it is almost certain that the plugins will continue to rely on the OS for proper routing. If you're restricting access on remote hosts by IP, (as we do), you can static NAT your nagios host IP at a firewall/other device or move the IP when you change hosts.=20 -- Marc --__--__-- Message: 5 Date: Tue, 9 May 2006 14:51:34 -0500 (CDT) From: Paul Archer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: George Bryan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> cc: nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [Nagios-users] Re: Help with different hostnames that are conflicting On Tue, 9 May 2006, George Bryan wrote: > This problem is happening again on me.

First of all I must assume you are referring to the actions taken by the various checks. These are in fact regulated by the individual plugins so there is not a single way to solve this. Example: If my dns plugin calls dig to do the job then how do I run dig in the manner you describe? And will such a soulution work for other plugins? In general I think nagios expects your host to solve these issues. In your case you could considere working around the issue with NAT rules in the IP stack of your OS. Hugo. -- I hate duplicates.

I understand what you're trying to achieve - just set up a single ACL on your routers (for example) and have the Nagios service always query from this (virtual) IP, wherever it actually lives. For reasons stated before, this is almost impossible. The only way I can think of doing it is to set up a route definition on the Nagios host directing all traffic via the virtual IP, although that is rather messy. Here, we have Nagios on a virtual IP moving between two linux-ha hosts. NSCA listens to a port on the virtual IP. However, Nagios will query from the physical IP of whichever host it is on, so we have had to set up both physical IPs in the ACLs. I suppose you could set up a special subnet for your monitoring servers, and set your ACLs to allow that subnet. Or, if only certain checks (SNMP?) require this source IP, you might be able to modify the appropriate plugins to specify source route. However, it doesnt seem feasible to do it for all the plugins.

Thanks for the responses. I hadn't thought about the scope of the problem (ie that each plugin would potentially need to be modified). I think the scope could be somewhat contained by just modifying check_nrpe; that's the only plugin that relies on the client allowing a certain IP address. Right now, I think I'll just not worry about it too much, and change the nrpe.conf configuration on the clients when/if we have to.

Setup a 'nagios' user on the client with appropriate ssh keys on the server. Use forced commands in 'authorized_keys' for safety, and have the Nagios server log into the client to check what it needs to check. It's probably no harder than setting up SNMP (much easier if you're not familiar with SNMP to begin with), and it's more secure.
