Maintaining the integrity of your domains and their DNS records is critical for ensuring uninterrupted operations and protecting your online reputation. With our Alerts Management system, you can receive timely notifications about key domain-based changes, such as a domain being blacklisted or a DNS record failing validation. This guide walks you through setting up alerts and leveraging the dashboard for efficient monitoring.
- Navigate to the Alerts Management section in your dashboard, and click on Create Alert in the upper-right corner to begin.
- Our alerting system supports two categories:
- DNS Records: Set alerts for specific DNS records (DMARC, SPF, DKIM…) for one or multiple domains. Receive notifications if the record fails validation or undergoes changes.
- Blacklist: Choose a domain to monitor and get notified if it is blacklisted or removed from a blacklist.
3. The first scenario After selecting the DNS Records category and choosing the desired record, you have two alert options:
Validation Failed: Receive a notification if the record fails validation, possibly due to syntax errors or other issues.
Record Changed: Receive a notification if the record is modified, allowing you to review and assess the updates.
The second scenario after selecting the Blacklisted category, you have two alert options:
- Blacklisted: Receive a notification for one or multiple domains to be notified if they are added to a blacklist.
- Removed from Blacklisted: Receive a notification when a domain is removed from a blacklist and is no longer blacklisted.
4. Select the domain or domains for which you want to receive alert notifications.
5. Assign a name to the alert based on your chosen criteria.6. Specify the email address that you want to receive the alert notifications.
7. Choose the severity level of the alert based on your criteria. The options are:
- Critical: Indicates a high-impact incident that requires immediate attention and follow-up.
- Warning: Highlights a significant issue with potential impact that should be monitored, though it may not yet be causing a problem yet.
- Informational: This represents a low-impact incident that is primarily for awareness and does not currently cause a problem.
8. After completing the alert set up, click Create to finalize and create the alert.
9. Once the alert is successfully created, it will appear on the dashboard. From there, you can edit the alert, toggle it on or off, or delete it entirely.
You can also review the Alerts that you’re receiving from the Alerts section of the dashboard.
