DNS finder stopped giving results

[AlephArgo]

Dear Ygal
my Watcher installation worked like a charm until one week ago: every day I got dozens of results from the DNS finder.
On March 15 I needed to reboot the system that hosts the containers and since then the DNS finder stopped giving results.
All others components seems to be working.
What can I check to understand what's going wrong?

Thank you
Stefano

Hi Stefano,

There is no particular reason why only the DNS Finder module would stop working, especially considering that:

• The Watcher container was running smoothly before the reboot.
• The three other modules are functioning without any issues.

There could be several explanations for this behavior:

1. It is possible that Watcher simply has not detected any new registered domain names, which would explain the absence of alerts.
2. To investigate further, I recommend checking the logs first to identify any potential anomalies.
3. Additionally, you can run a test with domain names such as "test[.]com" or "example[.]com" while monitoring the logs and checking if any alerts are generated.

Following these steps, you should get a clearer understanding of how the DNS Finder module is functioning.

Kind regards,
Ygal

Hi Ygal you were right: I run a test with example.com and it found lots of related domains. So Watcher is working and I just need to wait for results to come. Thank you! Stefano Il giorno mer 26 mar 2025 alle ore 10:46 Ygal Nezri < ***@***.***> ha scritto:
