Hi
We currently have 10 web machines serving 2 sites, each site served from a different IP address, e.g:
Web1
Site A x.x.x.1
Site B x.x.x.11
Web2
Site A x.x.x.2
Site B x.x.x.12
And so on...
Naturally, I created a new template consisted of 2 HTTP component monitors to check the availability of a specific page on each site.
Problem is, when setting up the URL field I can only use the default IP address variable (probably the one used for polling):
http://${IP}:${PORT}/TheURLToMonitor.aspx
I'm looking for a way to dynamically use the second IP for the second site's HTTP component monitor in this template,
otherwise I'll have to manually override the URL for this site's monitor on each of our web machines - bad for maintenance, very bad for scalability, And I really dislike manual work which can (and should!) be automated.
Is there maybe a variable which holds an array of each node's IP addresses or something alike?
Any other helpful ideas would be much appreciated!
