Hello folks,


I have started monitoring DNS tests on a server and It has never  worked correctly (always red status):

- Ubuntu 8
- bind 9.x running in a jail environement.


I haven't been able to find the DNS test correctly explained… any  advise will be welcome.

There is not really any good reason for this test not to work (as It  works in a very straightforward way on all my other servers (which  are not based on the same OS))…

-- 

As I couldn't find the solution and to avoid multiple (false  positive) warning i have decided to remove this test from the "bb- hosts-dist" for that precise server. I am now seeing a purple  warning that I can't seem to remove…

I have tried:

./bb localhost "drop server.name.com dns"
Ok So it seems that this command has succeeded // I have now a green  status // but my DNS still can't be monitored.


So I just need to know what and how the server is testing DNS on a  client host and where this test is located…
Because obviously it does not work for me…
This hasn't solve my issue… SO can someone help me to:


1. Correctly configure DNS tests.
2. Remove the "purple" status for this test.


Thanks.
