DNS record monitoring

DNS record monitoring

Verify A, AAAA, MX, NS, TXT, and CNAME records match expected values.

DNS monitors (/dns-monitors) resolve records and alert when values change unexpectedly.

  • Supported record types: A, AAAA, MX, NS, TXT, CNAME
  • Optionally set an expected value — alert if the resolved record differs
  • Check intervals from 1 minute to 24 hours

Use DNS monitoring to catch hijacking, misconfigured failover, or accidental record changes after DNS provider updates.
