I am currently monitoring and alerting on a http url just fine. But we recently added another web server for the site. It is being load balanced by round robin DNS.
So when you try to connect to http://site.com it goes to 1 of 2 servers depending on the IP received from the DNS server. My question is, how can I monitor and alert of each web server independently? Our site requires a specific host header (site.com) and I cannot access the sites by using the url as the IP. On my desktop, I modify my host file to hard set DNS to point to one server or another. Is there a way to hard set an IP for a host? So I could have 2 hosts that are monitoring http://site.com, but each is hard set to a different IP. Can I have it run a script (cmd or bat file) before a host check where I could modify my host file? Thanks in advance.
