Hi all,
I have recently started receiving critical alerts from Nagios
regarding the ntp service on my 2 VPS. On both, ntpd is functioning
perfectly fine, and iptables has rules to allow traffic through on
port 123, but /etc/ntp.conf contains:
# and
admin.curacao.bitfolk.com (nagios)
restrict 212.13.194.71
It looks like the recent scheduled maintenance work caused the IP of
admin.curacao.bitfolk.com to change, although I see that
nagios.bitfolk.com still points to the old IP. Assuming that my
diagnosis is correct, would it be possible to update the entry for
nagios.bitfolk.com so that our ntp.conf files can refer to
nagios.bitfolk.com rather than a hard-coded IP to prevent future
reoccurrences?
On a related note, is the nagios service is set up to check UDP or TCP
or both?
Thanks!
Adam
