Set up name resolution with DNS
Table of Contents
There are many ways to configure name resolution. A simple and straightforward approach is to implement this as a simple editing promise for the /etc/resolv.conf
file.
body common control
{
bundlesequence => { "edit_name_resolution" };
}
bundle agent edit_name_resolution
{
files:
"/tmp/resolv.conf" # This is for testing, change to "$(sys.resolv)" to put in production
comment => "Add lines to the resolver configuration",
create => "true", # Make sure the file exists, create it if not
edit_line => resolver, # Call the resolver bundle defined below to do the editing
edit_defaults => empty; # Baseline memory model of file to empty before processing
# bundle edit_line resolver
}
bundle edit_line resolver
{
insert_lines:
any:: # Class/context where you use the below nameservers. Change to appropriate class
# for your system (if not any::, for example server_group::, ubuntu::, etc.)
# insert the search domain or name servers we want
"search mydomain.tld" location => start; # Replace mydomain.tld with your domain name
# The search line will always be at the start of the file
"nameserver 128.39.89.8";
"nameserver 128.39.74.66";
}
body edit_defaults empty
{
empty_file_before_editing => "true";
}
body location start
{
before_after => "before";
}
Example run:
# cf-agent -f unit_edit_name_resolution.cf # set up resolv.conf
# cat /tmp/resolv.conf # show resolv.conf
search mydomain.tld
nameserver 128.39.89.8
nameserver 128.39.74.66
# echo 'nameserver 0.0.0.0' >> /tmp/resolv.conf # mess up resolv.conf
# cf-agent -f ./unit_edit_name_resolution.cf -KI # heal resolv.conf
