Since 2006, The documentation for the HTTP Collector has read:
"SPECIAL NOTE: an enhancement will be made that allows the ${ipaddr} to be part of any of the <url> element's attributes." but there has been no enhancement bug in bugzilla and everyone seems to have forgotten about this.

We have several services for which status information is available via 3rd-party monitoring systems, but the machine cannot be contacted directly.

We aimed to use the PassiveStatusKeeper and the HTTP Collector to achieve full monitoring of those services. we then discovered that ${ipaddr} could not be specified as a part of any useful field in the HTTP collector.

I have created an enhancement bug for this.

In the end, we have got something that does the job working well, based on the Importer, PSK, and a modified version of the HttpCollector.

We are using foreign keys in the importer, and don't really trust the IP addresses we are given... and since I was already doing some small lookups into the OpenNMS database to persist categories, I used ${nodeID} as an easy persistent key in the HttpCollector.

Ideally I would be using the import's Foreign Keys here, but I'm not sure how to access that information in the code.

My final diff to http collector is attatched.

And I will get a copy of the Contributor agreement to you ASAP. :)
