One server connected to 3 ISP and need to monitor those latency to some ip/websites .
Can heartbeat monitor ip/website via specific network interface ? or run some scripts (for change gateway ) after complete a round of monitoring .

Hi @luckyclue,
Currently, there's no option available to specify the origin interface of a monitor. [This](https://github.com/elastic/beats/blob/1f4b1460a196eac74d1929b13e830b6bd6f101e6/heartbeat/monitors/active/dialchain/dialers.go#L100) is where we create a tcp connection for http monitors and since we are not specifying any local address, it is being resolved for us. Do you think this [topic](https://superuser.com/questions/241178/how-to-use-different-network-interfaces-for-different-processes/750412#750412) can be a possible workaround for your use case?
This is a great idea for a feature. we've opened an issue for it, but it's not a top priority since it's a very rare request. We'd gladly accept a contribution / PR however.
Thanks,
Kyungeun

Thanks!! FYI I've created a [ticket](https://github.com/elastic/beats/issues/31971) in our beats repository if you'd like to track updates on this 🙂
