Domains Management

Managing domains with the Domain Library

The Domain Library

The domain library lives at /shepherd/domains/. The library is where users can view the current status of each domain and check out a domain for a project.

The Domain Library

Adding Domains

Domains can be added to the library one at a time or loaded en masse from a csv file.

Add One Domain

To add just one domain name to the library, click the Domain Library tab on the menu bar and Add New Domain. This opens the domain form for documenting and submitting a single domain name.

You may not know the latest health information for the domain. You can set the domain to Healthy as a default value and leave categories blank.

New Domain Form

Upload Domains

To bulk add servers to the library, visit the admin panel and navigate to the Domains model. Click the Import button and follow the on-screen instructions.

You can upload csv, xls, xlsx, tsv, json, and yaml files. Select the matching format from the dropdown menu.

After a moment, the admin panel will display a diff screen and ask you to approve the changes.

If a domain name already exists in the library, the import will update the existing record instead of discarding the data or duplicating the entry.

The DomainCheck tool outputs a csv in this format if you want to preload health statuses with your domains. You may then optionally add the note column.
