Remote Pings/Port
Is there a way to have a data source like Ping (Multi) and Port (multi) but instead of running the ping/port check from the collector perspective but from the target server's perspective ?
Ok, try these out: https://github.com/sweenig/remote-ping-dataSource
For Windows, as long as other PowerShell based DataSources work, this one should work.
For Linux, ssh.user/ssh.pass or ssh.user/ssh.cert are needed.
For ALL, a custom property (which can be applied on a device level or any parent level) called ping.targets needs to be added in the following format:
google:8.8.8.8,gateway:192.168.1.1,server:192.168.1.100,KMC:10.0.86.46
The above example will result in four instances named "google", "gateway", "server", and "KMC". The IP address for each item will be pinged, in parallel, and the results brought into the DS. You could set this on a group containing both Windows servers and Linux servers since the property is named the same for both.
