How does eG Enterprise Monitor Microsoft Azure DNS Zones?

eG Enterprise provides a specialized Microsoft Azure DNS Zones model to host your DNS domains in the Microsoft cloud. To collect metrics from the target DNS zones, eG Enterprise employs an agentless monitoring approach - i.e., it uses an eG remote agent deployed on Windows/Linux host/VM in the environment. This remote agent communicates with the Microsoft Azure cloud and pulls metrics on DNS zones by making Azure ARM REST API calls - this includes metrics on the domain names and their associated records of Azure’s DNS service.

To enable the eG agent to pull these metrics, you need to make sure that the requirements detailed in thePre-requisites for Monitoring Microsoft Azure Load BalancersPre-requisites for Monitoring Microsoft Azure DNS Zonestopic are fulfilled.
