I had the exact same problem with an old nagios 1.x, I've solved it by listing
both IPs in the address field of the host, and having a wrapper script in all
check_commands that can switch interfaces (or not) by options
ie. :
in hosts.cfg
define host{
use generic-host
host_name myhost12
alias myhost12
address 10.0.0.12,10.10.10.12
}
in service.cfg, I have two services ping_in and ping_out that executes two
separate commands check_ping_in and check_ping_out
and finally in checkcommands.cfg
define command{
command_name check_ping_out
command_line $USER1$/parse_addr --net=out --ips=$HOSTADDRESS$ --
$USER1$/check_ping -w $ARG1$ -c $ARG2$ -p 2 -H
}
# 'check_ping_in' command definition
define command{
command_name check_ping_in
command_line $USER1$/parse_addr --net=in --ips=$HOSTADDRESS$ --
$USER1$/check_ping -w $ARG1$ -c $ARG2$ -p 2 -H
}
where parse_addr is my wrapper script that knows wich IP to select with the --
net option and then executes whatever there is after the final --
It is a bit complicated but enables me to have 50 hosts checked on bvoth
interface without having 100 distinct services (as I would have if
I'd 'hardcoded' the IP in the service's command
Hope it helped
I'll investigate the check_cluster method as I'm on the way of upgrading this
old nagios of ours
