Monitoring Microsoft Azure DNS Zones

eG Enterprise provides a specialized Microsoft Azure DNS Zones model for hosting your DNS domains in the Microsoft cloud.

Figure 1 : Layer model for Microsoft Azure DNS Zones

The layer in Figure 1 is mapped to a single test that report metrics on the domain names and their associated records that Azure’s DNS service will use to direct traffic for that domain. Using the metrics reported by this test, administrators can find accurate answers for the following performance queries:

• Is the DNS zone private or public?

• Is the DNS zone available?

• Is the record set capacity utilization consistently high?

• Is the DNS zone handling too many name servers?

• Is the DNS zone taking longer time to respond to a request?
