.ai domains Unable to resolve

[cdq502]

Unable to resolve domain names with the .ai suffix. I also used the “--config=domains.yaml” parameter, but it does not work. Can users directly specify the host to resolve in the whois command using the -h option?

I have set the following in prometheus.yml:

  - job_name: domain
    metrics_path: /probe
    relabel_configs:
      - source_labels: [__address__]
        target_label: __param_target
      - target_label: __address__
        replacement: localhost:9222 # domain_exporter address
    static_configs:
      - targets:
        - google.com

domains.yaml:

domains:
- baidu.com
- name: wondershare.ai
  host: whois.godaddy.com

The startup command is set as follows:

nohup domain_exporter --config=domains.yaml &

Am I using it incorrectly?

$ whois wondershare.ai
This TLD has no whois server.

maybe that's the cause?

$ whois wondershare.ai
This TLD has no whois server.

maybe that's the cause?

This cannot resolve the domain expiration time.

whois chatgpt.ai

This can resolve and find the domain expiration time.

whois -h whois.godaddy.com chatgpt.ai

Most .ai domain names cannot be resolved directly using the whois command. I used your custom specified HOST method, but it did not work, so I am reporting it to you. Please check if there is a problem with my usage. Thank you.

copied the wrong command earlier:

$ whois -h whois.godaddy.com wondershare.ai
No match for "wondershare.ai" in the registrar database.

that said, in your prometheus.yml, you either remove the targets google.com thing and get only /metrics, or add it there with the host as well, so the url should be http://localhost:9222/probe?target=chatgpt.ai&host=whois.godaddy.com.

The difference is that, if you query from /metrics, results are cached, if you use /probe, they aren't.

I see that it cannot be executed and still returns a domain expiration time of -1. Because I need to use it with the Grafana panel, I have also tried :

  - job_name: domain
    metrics_path: /probe
    relabel_configs:
      - source_labels: [__address__]
        target_label: __param_target
      - target_label: __address__
        replacement: localhost:9222 # domain_exporter address

domains.yaml

domains:
- google.com
- name: chatgpt.ai
  host: whois.godaddy.com

startup

nohup ./domain_exporter --config=domains.yaml &

Unfortunately, I still cannot successfully obtain the domain expiration time. wondershare.ai is an example. Most .ai domain names need to specify whois.godaddy.com to correctly find the expiration time. It’s just that I can’t achieve this in the domains.yml you provided. Can you provide a complete setup method?

  - job_name: domain

    relabel_configs:
      - source_labels: [__address__]
        target_label: __param_target
      - target_label: __address__
        replacement: localhost:9222 # domain_exporter address

Hello, the content I posted before has always been
metrics_path: /probe

Please know!

before you had the domains in the targets, and now you don't.
