How to add single ip address two times in Orion

krishnamishra0786

Hi,

Generally we are not able to add single ip address two time in orion server. why ?

> Actually if you are running with single Orion server, you can not able to add the single ip address two times

How to add :-

Requirement - We need minimum two or more poller like - Main Poller and Additional poller

So if you have two poller running in infra, you can easily add single ip address two times. At the time of addition Orion will produce one error "the ip is already exist" so you can select another poller and add them easily.

thanks

Currently, you can only monitor an IP address once per polling engine. This is just the way Orion works. Official link which explains this is below:

If you are using Orion agents, you can poll overlapping IP addresses, but the Security Identifier (SID) of the different hosts has to be different for this to work:

Hope this helps!
