How DNS Monitoring Works
Simple setup, powerful protection
Add Your Domain
Enter your domain name and select which DNS record types to monitor (A, AAAA, MX, TXT, CNAME, NS, etc.). Set expected values for validation.
Configure Validation
Define expected record values, enable DNSSEC validation, set resolution time thresholds, and configure change detection rules.
Monitor Continuously
Our global network continuously queries your DNS records, validates responses, tracks changes, and monitors propagation across worldwide nameservers.
Get Instant Alerts
Receive immediate notifications when DNS records change, resolution fails, or DNSSEC validation errors occur. Track all changes with detailed logs.
DNS Monitoring Use Cases
Protect your domains and ensure DNS reliability
Domain Security
Protect your domains from DNS hijacking and unauthorized modifications. Monitor DNS records continuously and get instant alerts when records are changed without authorization. Essential for preventing domain takeovers and maintaining security.
Email Deliverability
Monitor MX, SPF, DKIM, and DMARC records to ensure email deliverability. Detect misconfigurations that could cause emails to bounce or be marked as spam. Critical for businesses relying on email communications.
Multi-Domain Management
Manage DNS monitoring for multiple domains and subdomains from a single dashboard. Track DNS records across your entire infrastructure and catch issues before they impact users or services.
Migration & Changes
Monitor DNS propagation during migrations, server changes, or infrastructure updates. Verify that DNS changes have propagated correctly across all nameservers before directing traffic to new infrastructure.
