[Xymon] DNS lookup occurs even with noconn

[FORD Alan]

Ok I finally got round to testing it.

To stop DNS lookup on a made up client name you need...

0.0.0.0    soapro  #   testip noconn

Sweet!!

Thanks all!!

Hmm... Maybe. Will have to try it :)

It would have to be something like this then

0.0.0.0    soapro  #   testip noconn

Seems a bit counter intuitive... lol

What if you add "testip"?

Hi all,

I have databases and webpages in my hosts.cfg like this..


0.0.0.0        Oracle_Enterprise_Manager # prefer noping noconn https://ictoem01.stanwell.com:7801/em/console  # Obviously a web page

0.0.0.0           soapro # prefer noconn  #  This is an oracle database which I have tests sent to.





What I find is that even with noconn, it still attempts to resolve the server name ie Oracle_Enterprise_Manager



I have managed to fix this by modifying xymonnet.c on line 839

>From this...



if (!h->testip && (dnsmethod != IP_ONLY)) add_host_to_dns_queue(h->hostname);



to this



if (!h->testip && !h->noconn && (dnsmethod != IP_ONLY)) add_host_to_dns_queue(h->hostname);

Any comments or possible breaking of Xymon??

If my interpretaion is what is expected for the noconn test maybe Henrik could put this in as a bug fix  :)
