[SOLVED] logger mismatch after change servername

[wolvesled]

Hi all,

I'm running ZCS6.0.1, because of few mistakes I run a zmsetservername command to change my servername from myhostname to myhost.mydomain.com
with few complications I finally made that change, but I discover a problem in my server monitoring in my admin console. -- that I have two entries with one say data is stale, but actually I have only one server in zcs.



I take few read and find this things:

[zimbra@myhost /]$ zmloggerhostmap
Zimbra Logger Service Hostname Map

---------------------    ---------------------
DNS Hostname             Zimbra Hostname
---------------------    ---------------------
myhost                   myhost.mydomain.com
myhost.mydomain.com      myhost

so basically I want to map the DNS myhost.mytomain.com to Zimbra myhost.mydomain.com

I read the logger manual, not discover the command to do that.

any hint?

thanks in advance!

So what do your DNS records show? Post the output of the following commands (run on the zimbra server):

cat /etc/hosts
cat /etc/resolv.conf
dig yourdomain.com mx
dig yourdomain.com any
host `hostname` <- use that exact command with backticks not single quotes

[root@myhost /]# host `hostname`
myhost.mydomain.com has address 12.34.56.78

by the way, the first time I change the server name from myhost to myhost.mydomain.com I did not change it completely (did not update ldap), and when I start the server the monitoring status have two entry with one not working. and then I troubleshoot and successfully change my server name (including update ldap records). there is still two entries with one dead after I restart the zcs server.

so I guess that mapping is created after I change the server name halfway to FQDN, so some part of the zcs already using the FQDN to create files and mappings but resulted in unable to find the server in ldap record. so there is still a zcs hostname "myhost" somewhere in the logger not updated to myhost.mydomain.com

or other clue?

thanks alot!

and just one thing to clear, my zcs fqdn was already changed successfully with all services up and running. the matter I post this is only because the admin console server monitoring has two entries, one shows all services running, the other looks like a dead body that says data stale, I just want to remove the dead one while the other still functioning well.

so far now looks like if I solve the mapping of logger to server, and so far far away now looks like I still have two servers as one with old name and mapping to the opposite dns record.

but I check with zmprov gs myhost returns me no such server. so I'm simply confused where else can have this old host name.

b.r.

[wolvesled]

sorry to bother, I take few searches, but still not find where the zimbra logger stores the server host name, that I can remove it from.

Any idea would be appreciate!

[wolvesled]

I find the correct command to modify the mapping where I missed it:

"zmloggerhostmap -d" to delete a mapping and "-a" to add one. the problem was I use "zmloggerhostmap --help" for the manual but it only accept "-h" and my system was configured in Spanish that I didn't quite understand to find the expected parameter to modify it. So I was simply thinking zmloggerhostmap is a loopup tool.

so with the correct command:

zmloggerhostmap -d myhost.mydomain.com myhost
zmloggerhostmap -a myhost.mydomain.com myhost.mydomain.com

I got this error:

DBD::SQLite::st execute failed: column dns_hostname is not unique at /opt/zimbra/bin/zmloggerhostmap line 64.
column dns_hostname is not unique at /opt/zimbra/bin/zmloggerhostmap line 65.

but in my admin console it looks correct as in picture:



so the error seems the database not updated, does that matter or I could consider this issue solved?

sincerely,
