Whois domain expiry monitoring with Netdata

This collector module checks the remaining time until a domain is expired.

Metrics

All metrics have "whoisquery." prefix.

Labels per scope:

• global: domain.

Metric	Scope	Dimensions	Units
time_until_expiration	global	expiry	seconds

Configuration

Edit the go.d/whoisquery.conf configuration file using edit-config from the Netdata config directory, which is typically at /etc/netdata.

cd /etc/netdata # Replace this path with your Netdata config directory
sudo ./edit-config go.d/whoisquery.conf

Needs only source.

Use days_until_expiration_warning and days_until_expiration_critical for each job to indicate the expiry warning and critical days. The default values are 90 for warning, and 30 days for critical.

Here is an example:

update_every: 60

jobs:
  - name: my_site
    source: my_site.com

  - name: my_another_site
    source: my_another_site.com
    days_until_expiration_critical: 20

For all available options and defaults please, see the module's configuration file.

Troubleshooting

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
