Add IP address configuration analysis #28

Open WadeBarnes opened 3 years ago

In order to ensure established best practices we want to ensure a node has been configured to use separate NICs for node and client communications, and they have been configured with different IP addresses on different subnets.

There can be two levels to this:

The implementation should build on the analysis plugin once merged; https://github.com/hyperledger/indy-node-monitor/pull/26

@WadeBarnes can we maybe also include an indicator from a tool like netstat and ifconfig to ensure the two IPs bind to the validator and client ports respectively. Not sure if this is really needed, but purely testing if there are two IPs on different subnets don't necessarily indicate that the services are bound to different NICs.

@lohanspies, I've updated the related tickets to address this.
