Hello, we are running v5.5.10, VM, 64-bit, CentOS 7

We are in the habit of using a DNS for a host address.

We recently had a DNS outage followed by an alert storm with a "name resolution" error in the alert text.

I'm guessing that using the server IP for the host address would protect us from a DNS outage, it that right?

That should do the trick since there wouldn't be a need to resolve a host name to an IP.

Hello,

Please lock the case.

Thanks!

Earl
