'Website Monitoring Wizard' and check_xi_service_dns

[jwelch]

I just added website monitoring to a couple of URLs and started getting DNS IP Match alerts.
Looking into it. It seems that the check_dns command uses $HOSTNAME$ and check_xi_service_dns uses $HOSTADRESS$

check_dns $USER1$/check_dns -H $HOSTNAME$ $ARG1$

check_xi_service_dns $USER1$/check_dns -H $HOSTADDRESS$ $ARG1$

The wizard used check_xi_service_dns and added '-a <ip>' as $ARG1$ (where <ip> is the ip address of the webserver).
This resulted in the command being fed the address and tried to compare the hostname to the IP Address resulting in a mismatch.
(something like found <hostname> expected <ip>)

I changed the service check to use check_dns since I really wanted it to use the hostname and look for the correct IP.

This part of the wizard appears to be what caused the mismatch:

Code: Select all

					case "dnsip":
						$objs[]=array(
							"type" => OBJECTTYPE_SERVICE,
							"host_name" => $hostname,
							"service_description" => gettext("DNS IP Match"),
							"use" => "xiwizard_website_dnsip_service",
							"check_command" => "check_xi_service_dns!-a ".$ip."",
							"_xiwizard" => $wizard_name,
							);
						break;

I'm guessing it should either call check_dns or use $hostname instead of $ip for $ARG1$....or maybe it's just something out of whack on my system, though I *think* I'm using current verisions of XI and wizards. (website wizard is version 1.2)

You are correct. We will be fixing the wizard. Meanwhile, you can modify your command. Thank you for the feedback!
