Domain expiration

[kollross]

Before I start on writing something myself, I wanted to clarify there is no means of tracking when a domain expires (registrar expiration, not TTL). I looked through various areas of the plugin but didn't see anything, but I just wanted to check.

Hi @kollross.

Actually there is an expiration warning in the GUI:

You could easily write a monitoring plugin that accesses the expiration date in NetBox and warns if/when a zone is going to expire. NetBox itself is not a monitoring tool, but all the data you need to attach one are there.

What would you suggest in addition to this functionality?

Better now.

No this is actually what I'm looking for. It just doesn't/didn't exist. Looking at a zone, I didn't have a "Registration" tab. So I went into the edit mode of the zone, and noticed the "Registration" portion near the button of the screen. Once I selected a registrar then the tap appeared in the zone section like you pictures.

If you don't have registration data, there is no registration tab - I try to avoid cluttering the UI with unnecessary information :-)

[kollross]

That's fine, in my case I think the domains existed prior to the plugin supporting the registration feature. And I've never edited the zone thus never saw them as an option.

Here are some scripts that scrapes whois info and updates some of the fields in Netbox. The second script will send out email notifications when certain countdown dates are met until expiration.
