I have a few remote locations that I monitor with Xymon. What would be the best way to monitor IP address change? I have a FQDN for all of these locations, and I can ping since they are in a VPN setup, but I want to know when the public IP address changes For example lets say location A has IP address 69.142.169.192 and I a FQN of locationA.monitoringsystem.com I monitor the fqdn already with 0.0.0.0. If I add the IP address will it let me know when it changes?
an approach might be:
- write a custom test and deploy on a host in locationA
- The script should poll their public IP (eg, by fetching icanhazip.com) and save it on a file
- Compare their current IP with a previous run
- if IPs differ, report locationA,example,com.IPChange as yellow and report old and new IPs
- if IPs equal, report green
