Monitoring service

ClouDNS's brand new Monitoring service is able to show you information about issues regarding your servers. With it, you are going to receive instant notifications if there is a problem. So, you can act fast and fix it quickly! That way, you guarantee a great user experience for your clients. In case you need more details about a particular event, you can easily determine the origin of the issue by using network path details (traceroute) recorded at the moment when the issue is detected. Additionally, you can see the history of events and find any needed data.

You have the opportunity to check your server status in real-time and receive exact details about the state of the servers you are using for web, email, DNS, etc. Moreover, we offer our small business owners a Forever Free Monitoring service plan that perfectly suits their needs.

Monitoring service check types

ClouDNS offers its clients an impressive stack of different check types:

• ICMP Ping - 12 ICMP ping checks to the given IP address/Hostname. The packets are variable in size : 4x 64 bytes, 4x 512bytes, and 4x 1024bytes.
• Web checks - HTTP/HTTPS requests to the given IP address/domain. The hostname, port, and url path can be customized.
• TCP - The system makes TCP connection to the given IP address/Hostname on the chosen port number. If the connection is unsuccessful, the check is marked as DOWN.
• UDP - UDP connection to the specific IP address/Hostname and port number. If the connection is unsuccessful, the check is marked as DOWN.
• DNS - DNS query for chosen domain and query type (A/AAAA/NS/MX/PTR/CNAME) on the given IP address/Hostname. If the response is not equal to the expected response, the check is marked as DOWN.
• Heartbeat monitoring - A great way to monitor servers/computers/devices which are connected to the Internet. It is a time-tested method of tracking the health of a device or software system by sending regular heartbeat events to a remote monitoring service.

For your monitoring purposes you can customize the amount of failed checks required to do before а status change. You can also configure the Monitoring region, Monitoring period, and state.

* Service can be provided separately or in addition to your DNS Plan!
