title: How to monitor virtual IP with zabbix?
body: <p>in some cluster environments, there are pair servers that are HA 2 by 2. for example i have server1 with IP 22.1.1.1 and server2 with IP 22.1.1.2.<br>
  server1 is giving service and server2 is standby. there is this virtual IP 22.1.1.3 that other servers connect to it to get services from server1 and server2.   </p>
  
  <p>now i need to monitor this virtual IP to see if it is up and other servers outside its VLAN can connect to it. how i can do this in zabbix?  </p>
  
  <p>i don't have an actual physical server to create in zabbix according to <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/38055899/how-to-monitor-virtual-ips-in-zabbix">this</a> question. i tried to create one but i got errors. also this question is asked 3 years ago. is there any new features i can use to solve this problem?</p>
