Identified

Cloudflare's DNS servers (1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1) seem to be having major issues:

https://x.com/Newspicel/status/1944880481704796373

This issue affects our Server Monitoring Agent installed on servers that use these DNS servers. Since these servers cannot resolve any hostnames at this time, our Server Monitoring Agent cannot send any metrics to our platform.

Resolution: Use diverse DNS servers on your servers (i.e., a mixture of Cloudflare and Google DNS servers), or wait for Cloudflare to fix its DNS servers so that your server regains full DNS resolution capabilities.
