Plugin: go.d.plugin Module: whoisquery
This collector monitors the remaining time before the domain expires.
This collector is supported on all platforms.
This collector supports collecting metrics from multiple instances of this integration, including remote instances.
This integration doesn’t support auto-detection.
The default configuration for this integration does not impose any limits on data collection.
The default configuration for this integration is not expected to impose a significant performance impact on the system.
No action required.
The configuration file name for this integration is go.d/whoisquery.conf
.
You can edit the configuration file using the edit-config
script from the
Netdata config directory.
cd /etc/netdata 2>/dev/null || cd /opt/netdata/etc/netdata
sudo ./edit-config go.d/whoisquery.conf
The following options can be defined globally: update_every, autodetection_retry.
Name | Description | Default | Required |
---|---|---|---|
update_every | Data collection frequency. | 1 | False |
autodetection_retry | Recheck interval in seconds. Zero means no recheck will be scheduled. | 0 | False |
source | Domain address. | True | |
days_until_expiration_warning | Number of days before the alarm status is warning. | 30 | False |
days_until_expiration_critical | Number of days before the alarm status is critical. | 15 | False |
timeout | The query timeout in seconds. | 5 | False |
Basic configuration example
jobs:
- name: my_site
source: my_site.com
Note: When you define more than one job, their names must be unique.
Check the expiration status of the multiple domains.
jobs:
- name: my_site1
source: my_site1.com
- name: my_site2
source: my_site2.com
Metrics grouped by scope.
The scope defines the instance that the metric belongs to. An instance is uniquely identified by a set of labels.
These metrics refer to the configured source.
Labels:
Label | Description |
---|---|
domain | Configured source |
Metrics:
Metric | Dimensions | Unit |
---|---|---|
whoisquery.time_until_expiration | expiry | seconds |
The following alerts are available:
Alert name | On metric | Description |
---|---|---|
whoisquery_days_until_expiration | whoisquery.time_until_expiration | time until the domain name registration expires |
To troubleshoot issues with the whoisquery
collector, run the go.d.plugin
with the debug option enabled. The output
should give you clues as to why the collector isn’t working.
Navigate to the plugins.d
directory, usually at /usr/libexec/netdata/plugins.d/
. If that’s not the case on
your system, open netdata.conf
and look for the plugins
setting under [directories]
.
cd /usr/libexec/netdata/plugins.d/
Switch to the netdata
user.
sudo -u netdata -s
Run the go.d.plugin
to debug the collector:
./go.d.plugin -d -m whoisquery
