Hi,
I've just enabled some additional alerting for the DNS secondary
service. It will copy you in on alerts regarding BitFolk nameservers
that are not correctly serving your domain.
They look like this:
From: nagios(a)bitfolk.com
Subject: ** PROBLEM alert -
a.authns.bitfolk.com/Auth. DNS
example.com is UNKNOWN **
***** Nagios *****
Notification Type: PROBLEM
Service: Auth. DNS
example.com
Host:
a.authns.bitfolk.com
Address: 85.119.80.222
State: UNKNOWN
Date/Time: Fri Jan 27 19:46:10 UTC 2012
Additional Info:
DNS UNKNOWN - 1.444 seconds response time (No ANSWER SECTION found)
This would indicate that
a.authns.bitfolk.com is not serving the
domain
example.com when we would expect it to be.
The reason for this change is that there are quite a few customer
domains that aren't being served correctly and rather than keep
opening tickets and chasing it up, I would rather let Nagios do what
it is designed for.
I am also working on a check that AXFRs are happening.
Cheers,
Andy
