Create a monitor using the check_dns plugin which queries the dns |server directly by IP address attempting to resolve 1 host in my DNS |records. | 2. Setup a master dependency that every service relies on. So if |my DNS service goes into a warning/critical/unknown state none of my |other serfvices will execute.
Instead of or in addition to #2, you can run a caching name server (named or something else) on the nagios system. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
