Monitor the health, performance, and security of your DNS infrastructure. Cloudmon covers DNS server resolution, full trace path analysis, and DNSSEC chain of trust validation from configurable probe locations.
DNS is foundational to every service your users access. A misconfigured nameserver, a broken delegation, or a failed DNSSEC signature can silently prevent resolution and cause connectivity failures that are difficult to diagnose without dedicated DNS monitoring in place. Cloudmon probes DNS infrastructure at regular intervals and surfaces resolution failures, latency spikes, and security issues before they affect users.
Where to find it: All DNS monitoring is accessible under Synthetic → DNS in the top navigation bar. DNS Servers, DNS Trace, and DNSSEC each have their own sub-section with a dedicated dashboard and monitor list.
Resolution monitoring Verify that specific DNS servers correctly resolve domains. Track resolution time, TTL, response codes, and resolved IP addresses at every polling interval. | Full trace path analysis Follow the complete DNS resolution path from root nameservers through TLD and authoritative nameservers, identifying exactly where in the chain a failure or delay occurs. | DNSSEC validation Validate the cryptographic chain of trust for DNSSEC-enabled domains, ensuring DNS responses are authentic and have not been tampered with. |
