• 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.

Question Cloudflare DNS extension & /usr/local/psa/admin/bin/dnsmng --update

Hi,

I have a domain exported to Cloudflare via the Cloudflare DNS extension.
Would anyone know if the sync to Cloudflare for this domain is triggered by the command "/usr/local/psa/admin/bin/dnsmng --update"?

Thanks.
 
I am not sure if I understand your objective. But to my knowledge exporting an DNS zone to Cloudflare can only be performed manually.

Edit: sorry I misread you post. I mixed-up syncing from and to CF in my head.

The export is done manually. But then if I update the DNS, I am willing to trigger the Sync function, to push latest changes to CloudFlare. Hence I am wondering if the command dnsmng would do so.
 
If I am not mistaken, the extension automatically syncs a zone (if the slider is enabled) when Plesk informs the extension about the zone change.
If no zone changes are made or if the slider is disabled, the extension will not export changes to Cloudflare; however, if necessary, sync can be done manually through the icon on the right side.

[...] if I update the DNS, I am willing to trigger the Sync function [...]
Could you provide details on what you usually do before executing `dnsmng --update`?
