Service unbound down

Post by Justin »

I keep receiving this error email after a few days.
Sadly, i cannot find the logfile which is needed to get more info.

-----
eFa Monitor ALERT


Service unbound down and restarted ( 3 attempts in past day, max attempts is 3 )

Please examine your eFa logs on mx99.domain.nl and resources to determine cause of failure
-----

Service unbound does give me this error:

[root@mx99 eFa]# service unbound status

unbound-checkconf[29880:0] error: cannot parse forward . ip address: 'forward-addr:'
can you check?:

Code: Select all

cat /etc/unbound/conf.d/forwarders.conf
it should be something like this:

Code: Select all

forward-zone:
  name: "."
  forward-addr: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
  forward-first: yes
restart unbound after changing

test

Code: Select all

unbound-control list_forwards
unbound-control lookup google.com

Thanks for the quick reply.
For some reason my DNS Servers were missing even though i added them with the setup.
Adding the DNS Server and restarting the unbound service seems to give me the following results.

Code: Select all

[root@mx99]# cat /etc/unbound/conf.d/forwarders.conf
forward-zone:
  name: "."
  forward-addr: 212.45.45.45
  forward-addr: 2001:9e0:4:32::3
[root@mx99]# unbound-control list_forwards
. IN forward 212.45.45.45 2001:9e0:4:32::3
[root@mx99]# unbound-control lookup google.com
The following name servers are used for lookup of google.com.
forwarding request:
Delegation with 0 names, of which 0 can be examined to query further addresses.
It provides 2 IP addresses.
212.45.45.45            not in infra cache.
2001:9e0:4:32::3        not in infra cache.
Is this the correct result?

Yes. It shows the name server(s) that would be used to look up the name specified.

Just dig google.com multiple times. Query time should be 0 msec

The main question is: how did this happen ("though i added them with the setup")

Can you show the original /etc/unbound/conf.d/forwarders.conf, just after setup?
--/etc/efa/ contain the config files with the values used to generate the unbound config--

Sadly enough i cannot show to original one.
But i received an error "permission denied" which was gone after adding my 2 DNS servers under IP Configuration.
It could be possible that i forgot to add the DNS in the setup, but i normally add them as i always do that.

Check the values in /etc/eFa/eFa-Config

Do you use RC3? ( eFa-Configure -- DNS server entry throwing an error is a resolved issue viewtopic.php?f=19&t=3306
