• Our team is looking to connect with folks who use email services provided by Plesk, or a premium service.

  • The BIND DNS server has already been deprecated and removed from Plesk for Windows.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release.
  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.

Event Handler for DNS enable/disable

EdwardG

New Pleskian
We're looking to understand if an event can be generated when the user turns off (or on) DNS services for a domain.

Plesk versions for this question 9.5, 10.x and especially 10.4.4, which seems to have some new events.

We have a secondary name server for each of our domains, and some automation around it, and we have some issues when the domain needs to be moved from one server to another.
 
This is certainly a feature I'd need to see, too, in the panel cause we rely heavily on the event handlers to manage our DNS/SMTP infrastructure. At the moment, as far as I know, there is no event handler hooked with switching DNS on/off for a zone. Looking to 10.4.4 I see several "DNS zone updated" which, according to http://mirror.proserve.nl/plesk/Ple...inistrator-guide/index.htm?fileName=67897.htm don't actually give any hint on the "on/off" DNS service status for a domain. One workaround would be to use the existing "DNS zone updated" event(s) and to poll the on/off zone status in the psa database for OLD_DOMAIN_NAME which is ugly but may work. Ideally Plesk would export another parameter pair, as in:
Param. name and description | Previously used value | new value
Domain status | OLD_DOMAIN_STATUS | NEW_DOMAIN_STATUS
This is just a proposal, the actual design & implementation spec may differ.
