Secondary domain health monitoring
Overview
This guide provides step-by-step instructions for secondary domain health monitoring, covering a series of targeted actions, including:
Benefits
Monitoring the health of secondary domains is crucial for ensuring seamless failover, maximizing infrastructure reliability, and maintaining compliance with industry standards. The DigiCert® DNS platform enhances visibility with real-time status metrics, automates alerting and reporting to reduce downtime, and optimizes load balancing for better performance. With centralized management, users can proactively detect and resolve issues faster, minimizing disruptions and ensuring operational efficiency.
Procedures
注意
This procedure displays the AXFR health status of a specific secondary domain (domain1) created in an earlier procedure. To access the same data via the back-end, use the following API endpoint:
GET /health/secondary/{domainId}/health/axfr
For help configuring your testing environment, refer to the API guide.
Sign in to your DigiCert® DNS account.
From the landing page, go to the left sidebar and select DNS > Domains.
Select the SECONDARY DNS tab.
The table displays all the secondary domains associated with the account.
Select the name of the secondary domain (for example, domain1) whose AXFR health status you want to view.
Select the HEALTH tab.
Locate the HEALTH CHECK card to view the domain’s AXFR health status.
The AXFR health status is determined by the Serial Number Match health check. This health check may include one or more individual tests.
注意
This procedure displays the overall health status of a specific secondary domain (domain1) created in an earlier procedure. To access the same data via the back-end, use the following API endpoint:
GET /health/secondary/{domainId}/health
For help configuring your testing environment, refer to the API guide.
Sign in to your DigiCert® DNS account.
From the landing page, go to the left sidebar and select DNS > Domains.
Select the SECONDARY DNS tab.
The table displays all the secondary domains associated with the account.
Select the name of the secondary domain (for example, domain1) whose health status you want to view.
Select the HEALTH tab.
Locate the HEALTH CHECK card to view the domain’s overall health status.
The overall health status is determined by the results of the following health checks: Serial Number Match, Nameserver Delegation, and Nameserver Reachability.
注意
This procedure displays the nameserver health status of a specific secondary domain (domain1) created in an earlier procedure. To access the same data via the back-end, use the following API endpoint:
GET /health/secondary/{domainId}/health/nameserver
For help configuring your testing environment, refer to the API guide.
Sign in to your DigiCert® DNS account.
From the landing page, go to the left sidebar and select DNS > Domains.
Select the SECONDARY DNS tab.
The table displays all the secondary domains associated with the account.
Select the name of the secondary domain (for example, domain1) whose nameserver health status you want to view.
Select the HEALTH tab.
Locate the HEALTH CHECK card to view the domain’s nameserver health status.
The nameserver health status is determined by the Nameserver Delegation health check. This health check may include one or more individual tests.
注意
This procedure displays the zone transfer health status of a specific secondary domain (domain1) created in an earlier procedure. To access the same data via the back-end, use the following API endpoint:
GET /health/secondary/{domainId}/health/zonetransfercheck
For help configuring your testing environment, refer to the API guide.
Sign in to your DigiCert® DNS account.
From the landing page, go to the left sidebar and select DNS > Domains.
Select the SECONDARY DNS tab.
The table displays all the secondary domains associated with the account.
Select the name of the secondary domain (for example, domain1) whose zone transfer health status you want to view.
Select the HEALTH tab.
Locate the HEALTH CHECK card to view the domain’s zone transfer health status.
The zone transfer health status is determined by the Nameserver Reachability health check. This health check may include one or more individual tests.
