    Zone Analytics

    Zone Analytics

    View query volume by DNS zone, giving insight into which domains receiving the highest number of queries.

    Set time frame

    Click the time-frame dropdown above the analytics table (default: 1 Hour) and select the desired time range.

    View Domain details

    Click any domain to view its traffic details. Use the filters to narrow results by query type and time range.

    Return Code Distribution

    The pie chart surrounding the number of total queries shows how many queries resulted in each return code.

    Hover over the chart to see the number of queries that resulted in each return code.

    Queries per Second

    The line graph displays the queries per second over the selected time frame.

    Query Type table

    Query Type

    Query type defines the purpose and expected format of the DNS response.

    For example:

    • A (Address) Record: Queries for the IPv4 address associated with a domain name.

    • MX (Mail Exchange) Record: Queries to identify the mail servers responsible for accepting email for a domain.

    • AAAA (IPv6 Address) Record: Queries for the IPv6 address of a domain.

    • CNAME (Canonical Name) Record: Queries that resolve an alias to its canonical domain name.

    • TXT (Text) Record: Queries for text-based information, often used for domain verification, SPF, or DKIM.

    • NS (Name Server) Record: Queries to determine the authoritative name servers for a domain.

    • SOA (Start of Authority) Record: Queries for zone management information, such as the primary name server and zone timestamps.

    Queries

    The number of queries from the source IP.

    Error Rate

    The percentage of error responses out of all responses for a specific DNS query type.
