[collectd] ntp-plugin and time.windows.com

[Andreas Schulze]

Hello,

just for fun I monitor time.windows.com:

$ grep noselect /etc/ntp.conf
server time.windows.com. noselect

collectd produces logentries:
collectd[27936]: ntpd plugin: getnameinfo failed: Temporary failure in name resolution
( every time the plugin is queried, usualy every 10 seconds )

maybe the unexpexted long answer of the reverse lookup is a reason for the errormessage.
But nice to see, who is a akamai customer ...

$ dig 32.197.46.207.in-addr.arpa. ptr | wc -l
2210

I fixed it by putting ann entrie in the hosts.

$ echo '207.46.232.182 time.windows.com' >> /etc/hosts
