IBSmart Help

Hi,

We've set up a lab environment in order to test IBSmart.  We've installed and configured IBSmart as per the installation instruction, but it has been difficult to get everything working correctly.  We are currently running NIOS 6.1.1.  The bloxTools environment is on a separate appliance from the GM.  Any help will be greatly appreciated.  Thanks.

The current configuration that we have is as follow:

Poll Interval: 5sec   RRset TTL: 1sec

DNS View: default      Domain Name: ibsmart_test.xxxxx.net

Tracked Service: ICMP    A RRset: 10.26.77.235 10.26.77.236 10.26.77.237

The log output that we got:

2011-09-06T15:45:42+00:00 local7 www Spoker[3766]: debug ibsmart_test.xxxxx.net::icmp@10.26.77.236 | FAIL: Pinging failed (ping -c 1 -n -q -w 5 10.26.77.236 > /dev/null)

Re: IBSmart Help

I had this when I first setup ibsmart.  The problem was that my DNS names were created as "Host" objects and not "A record" objects.  Both host objects and "A record" objects cause "A" records to be published in the DNS, but ibsmart only looks up "A record" objects.
