7.19.1 Netwatch FQDN

Mon Jun 09, 2025 6:38 am

I know netwatch doesn't do lookups, strange in 2025, but yeah...

Why can't we do something like this at least?
[xxxx@RB5009] /tool/netwatch> add type=https-get host="[resolve:hc-ping.com]/81fb2c3a-cc24-xxxx" interval=00:00:31
invalid or unexpected prefix length value
Without FQDN lookups it makes canary style monitoring impossible.

And yes, I know I could write a script to achieve this, thats not the point of the thread. Netwatch should be able to do this.
