Scavenging records

Stale resource records can degrade the performance of a DNS server over time. Periodically, you should run scavenging to clean up any stale records. You also can set up automatic scavenging. See Editing DNS server properties.

Monitoring DNS servers

Previous Next


DNS Management > Monitoring DNS servers

Monitoring DNS servers

You can create tests to run on selected DNS servers at a specified time. By default, DNS monitoring is enabled and tests are run every 15 minutes. You can disable all DNS monitoring and run tests on demand, or disable just specific tests and let the rest run automatically.

You also can set up an on-demand test to run on multiple servers at one time. See Using the DNS analyzer.
