🔖 Feature description

What happened: monitored host has 2 ISPs attached to it, one went down (planned)
Browsers accessing websites: first page load takes a bit longer, browser automatically switches over to secondary IP address (DNS)
What uptime-kuma is doing: screaming everything is down

✔️ Solution

What I'd expect uptime-kuma to do: (optional) 'jfyi one of the IPs listed in DNS is down, but overall, we are fine'
What I'd also expect uptime-kuma to do: (optionally) monitor all IPs listed in the DNS, not whichever it reached first.

❓ Alternatives

No response

I would agree that monitoring all IP's for a given DNS name should be able to be monitored.

Would the behavior be that if one of the hosts fails, the site is down?

jtagcat commented 2 years ago

Yea; kuma has only booleans OK (up) or NOK (down), there is no degraded status. Though, degraded might not be good either, as this could be a security issue, where it is definitely NOK/down.

I have the same issue here. In my opinion the host which has multiple IPs schould not be considered down as long as at least one of the IPs can be reached. At max a warning could be issued.

It would be nice if Happy Eyeballs (RFC 8305) was an option. It seems this was already discussed in #57.

Would it be possible to make use of this happy-eyeballs package:

Node.js still doesn't appear to have Happy Eyeballs (see: nodejs/node#41625).
