Hello all,
I'm trying to monitor a dnsmasq server, a very simply DNS forwarder
http://www.thekelleys.org.uk/dnsmasq/doc.html
with monit 2.8 and I only get errors:
May 14 18:06:38 soekris monit[31057]: DNS: invalid reply code -- error occured
May 14 18:06:38 soekris monit[31057]: 'ipcopdns' failed protocol test [DNS] at
INET[10.0.0.1:53] via UDP
May 14 18:06:38 soekris monit[31057]: DNS: invalid reply code -- error occured
May 14 18:06:38 soekris monit[31057]: 'ipcopdns' failed protocol test [DNS] at
INET[10.0.0.1:53] via TCP
My monitrc contains:
check host ipcopdns address 10.0.0.1
if failed port 53 type tcp proto dns then alert
if failed port 53 type udp proto dns then alert
My ISP DNS server passes the test (I guess it runs ISC BIND).
I am no DNS expert but I poked a bit in protocols/dns.c to see the
'invalid reply code' (response[3] on in the test on line 144) and
got 0x83.
I also tried disabling the test completely, then I get a 'no answer
records' error.
I see two possibilities: either the request in protocols/dns.c is a valid,
altough unusual request that only some servers handle correctly or the
verifications on the response are too specific.
Before I investigate any further, I thought somebody on the list might
have a fix.
Thanks,
