Check DNS IP ciritical error

Post by cshaffer »

Used the web site wizard to add a server. Just took defaults on everything. Immediately got DNS Critical: expected "10.206.201.37" but got "svqcws1.ntnbower.com" Did some research and tried editing the parameters of the check_xi_service_dns command. Finally got it where it would return DNS Critical: expected "svqcws1.ntnbower.com" but got "svqcws1.ntnbower.com" This makes no sense to me.

At this point I decided to stop spending time on it and tried to delete the service. I tried disabling it and marking it as inactive, but it won't go away. Nothing seems to work and I am to the point where I would like to delete the host and its services, but I can't get that to work. It keeps saying there are dependencies, but I don't know what they are. Is there somewhere that I can just delete everything to do with this host and start over?

Use the checkboxes and the "with checked" dropdown to delete objects. The "red X" should be working once again as of the next version (2014r1.5 - out soon!).

Thanks. That allowed me to delete the services and host.

Great! did you want to keep this open while you test the dns issues?

Let's close it. I am trying a different approach now. Instead of using the web site wizard, I used the regular linux host wizard and added in the apache check. It is less problematic. Thanks.
