• Halloween is coming! To celebrate the occasion, we dusted off a couple of old skins, and even created a brand new one (Pixel).
    To get into the festive spirit, install the Skins extension.
  • The new Python extension is now available. It allows customers to deploy and manage WSGI-based Python applications on their websites directly from Plesk.
  • The Plesk Mobile apps for iOS and Android and the Plesk Mobile Center extension have been deprecated, and are no longer available for new installations. In Plesk Obsidian 18.0.84, the Plesk Mobile Center extension will be removed from servers during the upgrade, and the Plesk Mobile apps will lose their server management features.
  • The Social Login extension has been deprecated and will be removed in Plesk Obsidian 18.0.84. After that, it will no longer be possible to log in to Plesk with a Google, Facebook, GitHub account, or with a passkey. Plesk usernames and passwords, as well as logging in with a WebPros Account, are not affected.

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.
