Windows DNS
Overview
Windows DNS, the domain name system service on Windows-based systems, seamlessly integrates with Motadata AIOps to provide comprehensive monitoring and management capabilities. With this integration, organizations gain real-time visibility into the performance and health of their Windows DNS servers. Monitor critical DNS metrics such as query rates, response times, and zone transfer status to ensure efficient and reliable domain name resolution.
Prerequisites for Microsoft Windows DNS Integration with Motadata AIOps
Obtain the server credentials required for discovering the server on which Microsoft Windows DNS is installed.
Ensure that the user has administrator privileges on the server where Microsoft Windows DNS is installed.
Ensure that the Microsoft Windows DNS service is active and running on the server.
Confirm that the Microsoft Windows DNS process and service are listed in the process and service monitor settings of Motadata AIOps. While these may be listed by default, verify that the names of the service and process match the specific Microsoft Windows DNS version that you intend to monitor.
By meeting these prerequisites, you can integrate Microsoft Windows DNS with Motadata AIOps and enable effective monitoring and management of your Microsoft Windows DNS server.
