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.
