DNS Basic
The DNS Basic check simply queries the resolver you define to make sure a record exists. It DOES NOT check that the value in the response (see DNS Response for options to do that more detailed check).
Important
The Monitor Target attribute for the monitor must be a DNS name.
Monitor Specific Options
| Name | Description | Value Type | Example Value | Required |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Record Type | The type of DNS record to query for. e.g. A, CNAME, MX, etc | String | CNAME | TRUE |
| DNS Resolver IP | The IP address of the DNS server used for name resolution. | IP Address | 1.1.1.1 | TRUE |
| DNS Query Timeout | The time in seconds to wait for a response. Maximum 30sec. | Integer | 3 | TRUE |
Evaluation
No response or a failure to find a matching record and type to the Monitor Target is considered a failure.
