 |
|
I need to somehow check what IP address a website resolves to and alert if it changes. I looked over all the tests but didn't see anything that would work.
Any suggestions on how to do this? |

I think you can use Trace test.

Alex, don't you mean DNS test?
If Guido39 want's to check what ip a given hostname resolves to, DNS test can check this for you..
Or maybe I don't get the question right....

You may use DNS test but...
If IP address of the host changes, DNS test will set "Bad" status (and start alerts) and keep "Bad" status until you change IP address (test property) manually.
If you use Trace test, HostMonitor will set "Bad" status when route (IP address changes). However next check will compare current route to previous route. So, if there no new changes in IP address, "Ok" status will be restored. This way Trace test will be ready to inform you about future changes...
