While monitoring FQDN nodes or pool members, bigd may log the current or previous monitor status of the node or pool member as 'unknown' in messages where that state internally could have been logged as 'checking' or 'no address' for FQDN template nodes. Other states for FQDN configured nodes or pool members log monitor status as expected. Messages are similar to the following: notice bigd[####]: 01060141:5: Node /Common/node_name monitor status unknown [ ip.address: unknown ] [ was up for ##hrs:##mins:##sec ] notice bigd[####]: 01060141:5: Node /Common/node_name monitor status up [ ip.address: unknown ] [ was unknown for ##hrs:##mins:##sec ] notice bigd[####]: 01060141:5: Node /Common/node_name monitor status up [ ip.address: up ] [ was unknown for ##hrs:##mins:##sec ] notice bigd[####]: 01060145:5: Pool /Common/pool_name member /Common/node_name monitor status unknown. [ ] [ was unchecked for ##hrs:##mins:##sec ] notice bigd[####]: 01060145:5: Pool /Common/pool_name member /Common/node_name monitor status up. [ ] [ was unknown for ##hrs:##mins:##sec ]
Unable to triage state of FQDN nodes or pool members identified in these log messages, to determine whether further troubleshooting is required, or what specific problem condition might require further investigation.
This may occur of the FQDN template node or pool member is in a 'checking' or 'no address' state. The 'checking' state may occur if the DNS resolution of the FQDN node or pool member name is in progress. The 'no address' state may occur if no IP addresses were returned by the DNS server for the configured FQDN node or pool member name.
None.
An FQDN-configured node or pool member logs each internal monitor status, including for scenarios of 'checking' and 'no address' for FQDN template nodes which were previously logged as 'unknown'.
