Package: hobbit-plugins Version: 20101207 Severity: wishlist Tags: patch When starting up with IPv6 it is sometimes necessary to monitor IPv6 addresses with conn6 plugin without already mentioning their AAAA records in DNS for the main hostname.
So I wanted to have the option to give an IPv6 as parameter to conn6
which should be tested instead of the AAAA of the given hostname.
The original conn6 script was implemented with /bin/sh and calls perl
for calculating milliseconds, which doesn't sound like a good
performance, so I decided to rewrite it completely in perl and to
implement the above required IP parameter in the new one.
You find my rewritten script as an attachment, now you can either use
"conn6" in the way you know it or you can attach a comma separated
list of v6 IPs and/or hostnames with AAAA records after a colon.
Examples:
10.1.2.3 foo # ftp conn6:2001:db8:1::42
10.1.2.4 bar # smtp conn6
10.1.2.5 baz # conn6:baz.example.com dialup
10.1.2.6 router # conn6:2001:db8:1::1,2001:db8:2::1
Tschoeeee
