I recently upgraded my Zenoss install to a high availability configuration and ran into a small issue.  I have a few SNMP monitored devices that only let me enter in a single allowed host for my SNMP reads.  Does anybody know if there is a way to make Zenoss originate its snmpwalk type commands from a specific ip if its on a multihomed machine?  I'd like them to originate from the virtual ip.

Good question!
I would imagine that the commands emanate from the manageIp attribute ie. the IP address you see top-left on a device's details page.  You can change that from Action icon and change/reset IP address. 

I would want to try this in a safe test environment first.  Anyone else know of a good way to resolve this?

Cheers,
Jane

You could try to achieve this by changing your Zenoss host's routing table

route add -host <target> dev <If>
