Domain name management

This feature allows you to track the domain record for each of the Internet domains monitored by BMC PATROL for Internet Servers. For those domains that expire (top-level.com, .net, .org domain), the product reports the days remaining for each monitored domain registration. The KM allows you to configure content check against the domain record data.

Note

This feature uses the Whois protocol, which requires that the top-level domain name is included in the request. You must verify that the domain instance has a fully qualified name. The Whois protocol communicates via TCP, therefore you must verify that port 43 is open.

To define the content of a domain record

Use this task to configure the settings for monitoring domain record content.

  1. Under Domain Expiration, access the menu commands for an Internet domain instance.
  2. Select KM Commands > Content Check.
  3. Enter the expression that you want to look for using one of the following methods:
    • For a single line expression, enter the content in the Single Line Content Expression field.
    • For a larger expression, enter the full path to a file containing the contents to be checked in the Multiple Line Expression field.
    • To include Unix-style regular expressions inside the content expression you specify (either single-line or multi-line), select the Evaluate Unix-style regular expressions checkbox.
      If both content expression areas are filled in, the multiple-line expression is used.
  4. Select the Case Sensitive option if you want to check for case sensitive matches.
  5. Select whether an alarm is raised if the checked content does or does not match the content expression.
  6. Click Accept.
