DNS Record Monitoring

Detect unexpected DNS changes before they cause outages.

Start Monitoring Free← All Monitor Types

DNS monitoring checks your A, MX, NS, and TXT records and alerts you when anything changes. Unexpected DNS changes can redirect traffic, break email, or indicate a compromise.

How it works

Uptrue resolves all major record types for your domain on each check cycle. If any record differs from the previous snapshot, an alert fires with a diff of what changed.

What Uptrue checks

A records (IPv4)
MX records (mail routing)
NS records (nameservers)
TXT records (SPF, DMARC, verification)

Alert conditions

Any DNS record changes from baseline
DNS resolution failure
Why this matters

DNS changes propagate globally in minutes. A misconfiguration or hijack can silently redirect your users or drop your email. Early detection is critical.
