DNS Query Check:
$ARG1$ -H 'time.windows.com' -a 'IP AddrXX9' -s 'IP AddrXXX9'
$ARG2$ -H 'time.windows.com' -a 'IP AddrXX8' -s 'IP AddrXXX8'
Run check cmd executes $ARG1$ ONLY, $ARG2$ is not run.
Query needs to check:
$ARG1$ time.windows.com returns IP AddrXX9 from our internal DNS SVRxx9 (in SITE 1)
And
$ARG2$ time.windows.com returns IP AddrXX8 from our internal DNS SVRXXX8 (in SITE 2)

Hi Thomas,

Out of the box, all the dns related check commands are set with a single argument. Go to Configure > Core Config Manager and select commands from the left-hand sidebar menu, find the command then select edit and add another argument to the string. For example, Then Apply Configuration and try testing this again and let me know if it works. If not, can you run the full check command from the CLI and post the output for us to review.
