monitoring.apache.org watching out for us

http://monitoring.apache.org/status/ is now monitoring
SpamAssassin.zones.apache.org.  It'll mail here if things fall over.

Yeah, if I wasn't all hectic this week (see previous mail) I'd do
something now.  It looks like they're not monitoring DNS at all, which
seems bad, so I wonder if they have the plugin installed.  Which machine
does the monitoring?  I only have access to minotaur and ajax, and it
doesn't look like either of them.

Since you just got access iirc, can you prod and find out if
/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_dns exists?  Adding in the check is easy
after that:

check_dns -s spamassassin.zones.apache.org -H spamassassin.org -A 

and for apache.org which ought to be monitored if it isn't already:

check_dns -s minotaur.apache.org -H apache.org -A 


interesting...  I just noticed someone setup minotaur to serve up
spamassassin.org.  Have to have folks remove that named.conf entry too.

Cool!  We should also add in a check_dns for "spamassassin.org" against the
zones instance, make sure named is running and serving things up
appropriately.
