We have a service that checks dns addresses. We run it against some of our
internal DNS servers (we're checking the DNS server is resolving, so the check
belongs on the dns server rather than the host you're interested in).
define service{
use infrastructure-dns-service
host_name dc1025,dc1026,dc1030
service_description DNS-myserver
check_command check_dns!myserver.com!4.5.6.7
}
define command{
command_name check_dns
command_line $USER1$/check_dns -H $ARG1$ -s $HOSTADDRESS$ -a $ARG2$
}
(I believe check_dns is a standard plugin)
So you'd have:
define service {
use local-service
host_name local.dns.server
service_description DNS resolving foo.mylan.com
check_command check_dns!foo.mylan.com!192.168.0.1
}

Subject: [Nagios-users] IP and hostname mapping control
Hi everybody,
I'm looking for a way to check out the mapping between a hostname and
IP address.
Example: IP 192.168.0.1 exists and if the hostname foo.mylan.com is not
associated with this IP, I would have an alarm.
Indeed the script below returns no alarm :
define host {
use unix-server
host_name foo.mylan.com
display_name foo
address 192.168.0.1
check_command check_http
}
define service {
use local-service
host_name foo.mylan.com
service_description HTTP local
check_command check_http
}
Any idea?
Thanks a lot
François
