Hi List,
I want to perform an active DNS check on my bind server but the pages are not giving me extra info (excuses for being rather n00b on this)
https://mathias-kettner.com/checkmk_check_check_dns.html
A few hints probably will make me go “Aaah”
Tnx
Run the plugin from the command line and you will see what input options you have.
[root@myhost ~]# /opt/omd/versions/1.4.0p11.cre/lib/nagios/plugins/check_dns --help
check_dns v2.2 (monitoring-plugins 2.2)

Tnx Paul, but I would have expected a plugin that
was configurable and could be initiated via the check_mk
dashboard
afaics we need to wrap the tool with some
paraneters and do the evaluation ourself ?
As you can see, I'm very unfamiliar with plugins
and check_mk

There is an active check you can configure for this.
WATO → Host and Service Parameters → Active Checks → Check DNS service
Also, when viewing WATO, click the little stack of books in the top right and it will give you documentation where applicable.
