DNS
Overview
A service check for DNS (Domain Name System) involves monitoring the DNS infrastructure to ensure its proper functionality and availability. DNS is a critical network service that translates human-readable domain names (e.g., www.example.com) into numerical IP addresses used by computers to locate and communicate with each other on the internet. DNS service checks are performed regularly to verify that the DNS servers are responsive, resolving queries accurately, and providing reliable name resolution services.
