Observium doens't query directly to IP addresses, but uses hostnames from DNS.
This is a classic case for DynDNS.

Hi All,
this is a daft random question, can i monitor a device via multiple ip addresses?
for instance, we have a site with a mikrotik router,
they currently have 3 internet lines (DONT ASK!) 2xADSL,1xFTTC
currently we use PPPOE on the router so we can see the mikrotik directly,
ive enabled SNMP remotely and i monitor the box via 1 of the ADSL lines, however its constantly goes up and down and never makes up its mind!
the other issue i have is the FTTC line is dynamic ip and never stays the same for more then 48hrs
so in my mind, /etc/hosts or DNS for site1.router goes to 1.2.3.4, 5.6.7.8, 9.10.11.12
then every check it always use one of three ip addresses ?
am i correct?
or is the another way of monitoring this device?
regards
Simon
