DNS query analytics

DNS query analytics

DNs analytics dashboard provides a network administrator with quick insights into the DNS and leased IP activity related to a particular domain or network segment. It helps in monitoring network usage, identifying potential issues, and understanding traffic patterns.
To access the domain analytics
  • Select the Select the DNS menu from the menu bar along the left side of the screen.

  • From the submenus that appear, choose Analytics.

  • The analytics page appears, showing the current query rate and the total queries handled by all the DNS servers in the cluster. At the top right corner of the analytics Page, choose the type of Zones to view the query analytics.

  • All: Displays analytics for all domains.

  • Hosted Domains: Shows analytics specifically for domains that are hosted.

  • Blocked Domains: Presents analytics for domains that have been blocked.

Moreover, choose the required timeframe along which you want to analyze the performance of domains.

Queries Per Second: Indicates the current rate at which DNS queries are being processed by the server.

Total Queries: Displays the total volume of queries handled over a specific time period.

Below these metrics, you can find the list of domains and their views queried. The list also bears the query volume for even the non-hosted- domains un-resolvable by your DNS servers.



  • To thoroughly evaluate a domain's performance, select a specific domain from the list. This will display the domain's specific performance metrics, including hourly query load over a user-defined timeframe.

  • You'll also see details for IP addresses leased under this domain, such as lease duration, MAC addresses identifying each host, and the vendors of the host machines.

  • Additionally, the total query load across all IPs, as well as individual query loads, are visually represented in a doughnut chart accessible by selecting the respective IP.

  • Furthermore, a separate doughnut chart provides a visual breakdown of the query volume for different types of DNS records, illustrating the distribution for each query type.
