Even when blue Xymon does the tests. If the server is offline it will
timeout on the DNS tests (as well as other tests obvIously).
No bug, expected behavior.

Unsure if this is a bug or not. I noticed that for a few days I've been
getting "Runtime 483 longer than time limit (300)" and the bbtest column
shows:
TIME SPENT
<snip>
DNS tests executed 450.074868
<snip>
TIME TOTAL 482.741716
I was able to successfully debug this by adding "--debug" to the [bbnet]
CMD in hobbitlaunch.cfg. This revealed:
2009-09-01 08:26:01 ares_search: tlookup='dns.server.com', class=1, type=1
2009-09-01 08:26:01 Processing 0 DNS lookups with ARES
2009-09-01 08:33:31 Finished ARES queue after loop 20
Note that it took 7 minutes to complete this. Where 'dns.server.com' is
a server that we took offline on the day the issue began. We didn't
remove this from bb-hosts and instead marked it blue.
The fix was to comment it out from bb-hosts. It says "loop 20" above so
I was searching for config options that listed 20 as a value but didn't
come up with anything.
The issue is resolved on my end but I'd like to find out if this is a
bug or expected behavior. It seems that a single DNS check on a host
that's down shouldn't delay things by 7 minutes.
I'm running Xymon v4.2.3 on FreeBSD 7.2-RELEASE.
Thanks,
Chris
