Manually using the Zimbra Collaboration Server lookup service (2021184)

Purpose

This article provides steps to manually test the lookup service on Zimbra Collaboration Server. This process can be useful for third-party monitoring tools to perform a health check on the service.

For example, creating a mailbox on each store node called after the zmhostname itself, and then executing the test on every store node will be a complete check for consistency and continuity.

Resolution

To manually test the lookup service on Zimbra Collaboration Server:

Note: This example assumes that port 7072 is not being blocked by a firewall, and that zcs7-multi-mailbox2 is a store node (every mailbox store node has the lookup service available).

  1. Telnet to the server by running the command:

    $ telnet zcs7-multi-mailbox2.cork.zimbralab.com 7072

    Trying 10.21.71.206...
    Connected to zcs7-multi-mailbox2.cork.zimbralab.com.
    Escape character is '^]'.


  2. Enter these lines, and press Enter twice after the final line to execute the request:

    GET /service/extension/nginx-lookup HTTP/1.0
    Host: zcs7-multi-mta.cork.zimbralab.com
    Auth-Method: passwd
    Auth-User: user1@zcs7-multi.cork.zimbralab.com
    Auth-Pass: zimbra
    Auth-Salt: xxx
    Auth-Protocol: http
    Auth-Login-Attempt: 0


    Example response:

    HTTP/1.1 200 OK
    Auth-Status: OK
    Auth-Server: 10.21.71.205
    Auth-Port: 8080
    Auth-User: user1@zcs7-multi.cork.zimbralab.com
    Content-Length: 0
    Connection closed by foreign host.
    X-Proxy-Host: mail.example.com


    Note: The IP address in the Auth-Server field is the required value for this test.
