dumb question...about how to best define/represent routers and multi-homed hosts

[Gerkman,Joseph]

Also neglected to mention that it's in reference to use with the parent/child relationships too...that's where I believe I may have taken a wrong turn, especially when I take a look at my status map %-)

Again, just curious to hear/see how others have tackled it and what seems to work best for them.

multi-homed hosts


Hi all,

I've been working with Nagios for quite a while now and just wanted to say a big thanks to Ethan and the other folks who've made it such an incredible piece of software.

Now, for a kinda dumb question...

I have been creating a host entries for each interface on multi-homed hosts and routers (e.g.  routerA has 3 interfaces, for which I create 3 host entries, routerA-1, routerA-2, routerA-3).  

While this has service my purposes in allowing me to know if a particular interface is having issues, I'm realizing that this may not have been the best way to do this...so I'm just looking for some input from others as to what the best method to deal with multi-homed hosts, routers, and for that matter, VLANs.

Thanks and take care,

-J
