Nagios Support Forum

Hello Team,

We want to monitor .ae domains using Nagios XI. We tried using check_domain.php, but it is not working for .ae domains. We are getting "Error running whois" error for them.

The .ae domains license information is located in www.marcaria.com.

Could you please help us to get monitor domain expiration for the same?

Thanks in advance!!

Hi kalyanpabolu,
I have just tested out the "check_domain.sh" and looks like this called the "whois" command.
However, the "whois" server for the ".ae" domain do not have the Expiration date so there is no way for the "check_domain" to figure out.

As you can see from the picture below of "amazon.ae" ..... no "Date" listed. Here's an example of "amazon.com", which has expiration date showed: I also used the URL (below) and also noticed that there is no "Date" of registered or expiration.
http://whois.aeda.ae

Here's the picture of my test, looking up for "amazon.ae": One thing to keep in mind, if you ran this script too many time, you will be put into the "blacklist" as that has just happened to me. You will be blocked by the network solutions. So, unless you know for sure of the "whois" server database, there is not much you can do here.

Hello,

Thanks for your reply!!

I am aware about the "whois" database. The .ae domains are located in www.marcaria.com.
So is there a way we can get some command or plugin to fetch expiration details from here?

Hi kalyanpabolu,
The "www.marcaria.com" is not the "whois" database. It is a new domain registration service.

I have looked every where including "godaddy" for the ".ae" whois database, but I could not find one.

If you know of one (.ae whois database), you can use the "-s" option ..... please see example below: The issue here is all the whois database do not show the expiration date for .ae domain.

Hi kalyanpabolu,
The "www.marcaria.com" is NOT the "whois" database. It is just a NEW domain registration URL.

You go to "www.marcaria.com" if you want to register a new domain.
