DNS Monitoring#

DNS monitoring tracks your domain's DNS records and alerts you when they change. This helps you detect unauthorized modifications, misconfigurations, or issues with DNS propagation.

Available on: Business and Enterprise plans Default frequency: Every 2 hours

How it works#

Pulsewise periodically queries your domain's DNS records and compares them against the previously known values. When a change is detected, you receive a notification with details about what was added, removed, or modified.

Monitored record types#

Pulsewise monitors the following DNS record types:

• A — IPv4 address records
• NS — Nameserver records
• MX — Mail exchange records
• TXT — Text records (including SPF, DKIM, DMARC)

Change detection#

Each DNS check compares the current records against the previous check. Changes are tracked as:

• Added records — New records that weren't present before
• Removed records — Records that existed before but are now missing

DNS history#

The DNS history page shows a timeline of all detected changes, making it easy to track when and how your DNS records were modified.
