DNS Monitoring for Your Domains
Detect suspicious DNS changes or infrastructure modifications.
DNS records are critical for your services. An unexpected change can indicate a problem.
MoniTao monitors DNS records for your domains and alerts you when changes occur.
What we monitor
MoniTao monitors the main DNS records for your domains:
- A records (IPv4) - Your domain's IP addresses
- NS records - DNS servers for your domain
- Changes - Any modification is detected and alerted
Why monitor DNS?
DNS changes can have serious consequences:
- Domain hijacking (DNS hijacking)
- Unplanned migration to wrong IP
- Undetected domain expiration
- Accidental configuration change
How it works
