| I was trying to test out notification by putting in the config file a
| group I knew would fail:
|
| Host "Fail.notopdomain.xyz" {
| Service Ping
| }
|
| ... and yet, Fail.notopdomain.xyz always came up "green", regardless
| of the services I tried.
|
| After commenting out the built-in resolver "Resolv", Argus
| appropriately complains "Errors detected during startup", and
| highlights the error log.
|
| The built-in resolver should also complain if it can't resolve a hostname!
it does.
if you do not use 'Resolv', the dns error will be reported right away;
if you do use 'Resolv', the error will be reported sometime later.
