DNS lookup monitor

The DNS lookup monitor connects to a DNS server running on the asset and tries to translate the specified address into another address format. The entered address can be in number form (255.255.255.255) or in name form (www.kaseya.com).

• System type: All
• Category: Directory services

To test reverse DNS lookups, ensure the DNS server used by your KNM host or gateway supports that feature. Test by using the ping –a command.

Note: Only monitor specific settings are documented here. See Standard monitor settings.

Monitor specific properties

• Name - The address to use for translation test. To test more than one address at the time, separate the addresses with a semi colon in this field.
• All fail - Selecting this option indicates that all the addresses must have failed lookups for the agent to go into a failed state.
