Is there an existing issue for this?
- I have searched the existing issues
Current Behavior
With default Probe config provided
+ FPing
binary = /usr/sbin/fping
+ FPing6
binary = /usr/sbin/fping
protocol = 6
FPing binary is called without the -4 option, although it defaults to IPv4 but it makes both A and AAAA queries, and when the same host is probed with both FPing and FPing6 then an additional AAAA query is made by fping -6 binary just within a fraction of second.
This results in an unecessary 3 queries per dual stack host and unncessary traffic.
Proposed Change
+ FPing
binary = /usr/sbin/fping
protocol = 4
A simple change i.e. adding protocol = 4 to the FPing Probe config solves this issue.
Now fping -4 only makes A query and fping -6 only makes AAAA query.
After making the proposed change, number of queries are decreased significantly
Expected Behavior
No response
Steps To Reproduce
- Run container as is with defaults and add a target to be probed with both FPing and FPing6
+ Microsoft
menu = Microsoft
title = Microsoft
++ v4
menu = Microsoft v4
title = Microsoft v4
probe = FPing
host = microsoft.com
++ v6
menu = Microsoft v6
title = Microsoft v6
probe = FPing6
host = microsoft.com
- Capture DNS queries with packet capture or see logs in your configured DNS server.
- There will be 3 queries for
microsoft.com, one A and two AAAA.
