Hi there!
I have a small problem and I need your advice. I cannot make working the check_domain.php script with my domain, which has as extension the ".com.gr". I think that the problem is on the whois db server. Any ideas please?
Thank you in advance
Manuel

Hi @mvoloudakis,
Can you provide some more info about the error you're running into? What XI version and OS are you running for your XI server? What is the command you're using for the check_domain.php script?
If you believe the issue is with the whois server, you should be able to specify a different one using the -s option in your command for the plugin.

The command is:
/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_domain.php -d kritikos-holdings.com.gr
and the error is:
Error running whois:
The OS version is CentOS-7 and my Nagios XI version is 2024R1.0.1
As far as the -s command, I am aware of that but I have no idea which whois server to use.
Thank you again.

What do you see in your terminal when you run this?
You may need to run this first:

Hi
@mvoloudakis,
It looks like the .gr top-level domain does not run a WHOIS service. As far as I know, WHOIS is the standard method for checking domain expiration. When I run whois from the terminal, it directs me to manually use the FORTH website:
Code: Select all
[root@localhost nagiosxi]# whois kritikos-holdings.com.gr
This TLD has no whois server, but you can access the whois database at
https://grweb.ics.forth.gr/public/whois
I would recommend reaching out to your domain provider or ISP to determine what solutions are possible for checking domain expiration in an automated manner.
