DNS Test - No Record Lookup
list Michael S. Fisher
Hi, I have configured one of my DNS servers to run the dns test native to xymon. I have the directive "dns" specified in the bb-hosts file and the test shows up as a column however the test does NOT perform a lookup of the servers dns A record as it should. All i get is the "Service DNS on SERVER.DOMAIN.COM is OK (up) and then a graph immediately below. I have also tired using the dns=a:server.domain.com with no luck either. I have posted a screen shot on PhotoBucket - http://i761.photobucket.com/albums/xx256/mfisher_xymon/dns.jpg Does anybody have any insight as to why the dns lookups are not being ran?

I don't have a Xymon system handy to check, does the doc say it does a lookup of the A record? A check of the list archive uncovers this (which I remembered because I was part of the thread :) ): http://www.hswn.dk/hobbiton/2006/06/msg00112.html -- Rich Smrcina

Based upon the configs on www.xymon.com, it should lookup on it self..but i have also tried manually add the dns record check and no dice as well

Can you post your bb-hosts line? What happens when you do something like this: dig @dns_server_in_question.example.com dns_server_in_question.example.com Craig
list David Hay Currie
Just as Craig suggested, first check the server itself. Can it resolve DNS?, do you have the correct DNS addresses in your IP configuration? Can you do a dig/dnslookup using the servers in your configuration? Also, I tried opening the link but I was not able to see the picture, but then, it might be my content filtering

The xymon server can correctly resolve dns and i have included the dig
command in a recent reply. For some reason, it just doesnt include it in
the dns test....

Pinging solaris AND solaris.domain.com correctly respond with the right IP
address....DNS resolution was never really a problem on the xymon box as
most of my configs reference host name....The DNS test however has NEVER
worked and has ALWAYS outputed just the "DNS service is up (ok)" message
But im at a point now where we need to monitor dns records and this brings
me back to square 1

##############The bb-hosts file entry is as follows:
page solaris Solaris
192.168.X.X solaris # Name:"SOLARIS" dns nis ntp
telnet pop3 pop3s imap imaps
You are not using FQDN.
Try (as the xymon user on the xymon host)
dig @solaris solaris
You may not be resolving correctly. Confirm
/etc/resolv.conf is correct
Try adding your domain to bb-hosts
192.168.X.X solaris.example.com # Name:"SOLARIS" dns
nis ntp telnet pop3 pop3s imap imaps
Also try removing ‘ Name:"SOLARIS” ‘ (I don’t think

This file is wrong. You also need: search domain.com Your "dig @solaris solaris" command showed that you are not resolving correctly. Dig did not return an answer.

Ok, I see a lot of emails back and forth, and I think it would be good to summarize: 1. Myself, as well as most of the people answering do not think that there is a problem with hobbit/xymon itself, but rather with it being able to query DNS 2. From making point 1 clear, we know the test need to focus on the machine ability to resolve DNS records, and how it is set on the configuration for xymon 3. We don’t have information about your DNS server and resolver settings. This won’t matter much except for a couple of exceptions a. Windows 2003 DNS will not automatically insert linux host into the DNS table, so you need to create the A records and reverse pointers manually. b. In windows, mainly if you have Exchange running it is recommended that you also have WINS running (to speed up hostname lookup), and so WINS is still quite common. Why am I pointing at WINS? Easily, it is used for query of hostnames, so now there is a difference into having FQDN and just hostnames in the bb-host file 4. You can setup hosts to be monitored in the bb-host file either as a hostname, and IP or a FQDN. If possible I use the FQDN. After all, when you monitor, you want to completely monitor. a. From this there is something I learn from experience on my first setup. Using hostnames works with hobbit/xymon, but I did have problems with some checks not working. This was 5 years ago (My first test was BB I think actually), but I think the problem test were dns and ldap Just to make examples easy, in my bb-host file I have 192.168.11.203 server1.leisure.com # dns ldap dhcp !ftp !smtp !http://server1.leisure.com DESCR:"server:Active Directory Server and Application" And if I run dig, I need to do Dig server1.leisure.com And I get the result. The dns test itself reports Service dns on server1.leisure.com is OK (up) id: 57711 flags: qr aa rd ra opcode: QUERY rcode: NOERROR Questions: server1.leisure.com. A Answers: server1.leisure.com. 900 A 192.168.11.203 NS records: Additional records: Seconds: 0.000323 As it can be seen it is pretty straight forward. Does your bb server have a FQDN? Is the rest of your network a FQDN network? Do you use windows server DNS and WINS, or something else? David Hay Currie IT Manager

Pinging solaris AND solaris.domain.com correctly respond with the right IP address....DNS resolution was never really a problem on the xymon box as most of my configs reference host name....The DNS test however has NEVER worked and has ALWAYS outputed just the "DNS service is up (ok)" message
But im at a point now where we need to monitor dns records and this brings me back to square 1

Since the test is built into bbtest-net, and we can't duplicate the problem, and if the person with the issue is sure that a dig on the server name does work, maybe it's an issue with either the build of bbtest-net, or with your bb-services file. Is there any chance you have added a section [dns] to your etc/bb-services file? I can simulate your problem by adding one (OK, but no DNS lookup output). If so, please remove it. -Alan

Thank you all for your input. Our DNS environment consists of both Windows Server 2003 DNS as well as BIND. Both dns tests give the same result. DNS OK but no query below. I will have to experiment with a different build of xymon because i have a suspision that there is something wrong with the bbtest-net. I will post results shortly.

Hi all
Was catching up on my list, and saw this.
For what it's worth, we were having serious DNS issues in a mixed Unix/Windoze environment.
Amongst other things, we were getting DNS lookup failures, and bbtest-net was coring.
With some assistance from Henrik, we deduced it was a bug in the c-ares library - the details of which completely escapes me.
(I don't even remember what the c-ares library does)
To work around the issue, we added --no-ares to the [bbnet] CMD line in hobbitlaunch.cfg on the server.
Our entry now reads
CMD bbtest-net --report --ping --checkresponse --no-ares
It might not work, it might be a red herring, but it might just resolve the issue, and considering the effort it will cost to implement, there might be no harm in trying.
Good luck.
Cheers
