Hi,
One of our AD-servers went down for maintenance for 1 week, and I disabled the conn+dns tests in Xymon for that period. Now the "bbtest" column suddenly goes yellow, and indicates that DNS lookups takes 450+ seconds now (indicating that the DNS-check for the maintenanced server is still active).
No, it indicates that the Xymon server is taking a long time to resolve host names to IP addresses. You may need to configure the DNS client settings on the Xymon server (e.g. adjust the 'server' parameters in /etc/resolv.conf).
If you have most IP addresses hardcoded correctly in bb-hosts, you may want to add the 'testip' flag to the relevant lines of bb-hosts.
