FQDN
Posted: Wed Mar 10, 2021 10:00 am
Hello,
I installed the current version of NEMS last week on my Rpi 4. I am starting to add a few hosts to monitor my small home network, mostly with ping.
I would like to monitor a FQDN and it does not seem like DNS is translating it. I cannot seem to get check_ping or Ping to work with a FQDN, ie google.com. I can get 8.8.8.8 to work successfully. I checked my Rpi using ping google.com and it does translate and work. Not sure what I am doing wrong.

Thank you very much,

You can put the FDQN of the host in the address field instead of the IP address. It doesn't have to be an IP address in that field, a host name will work as well.
The Nagios process will do a DNS lookup if there is a host name and the check should work the way you want.
Thank you very much,
