Hi,
Is it possible to monitor two nodes that work in a cluster ( they have the same IP address - one IP address )? I have two Fortigate100A units in that cluster.
theoretically, there should be 3 IPs, 1 real IP on each box and 1 virtual IP. IF that is the case, you'd probably want to monitor all 3.
If in fact, there is only one, I do not think it would be possible to monitor the ghost box at the time it was not answering for the IP.

The clustering that we do is exactly this model and we are able to successfully monitor it by looking at all 3 IP's as you suggest. We monitor the two physical boxes at their IP's and then we add the 3rd "virtual IP" as an external node to Orion and apply the necessary application monitors. This seems to work very well.
