Secondary domain health monitoring
Overview
This guide provides step-by-step instructions for secondary domain health monitoring, covering a series of targeted actions, including:
Returning the AXFR health status of a specific secondary domain
Returning the IP set–related health notifications of a specific secondary domain
Returning the nameserver health status of a specific secondary domain
Returning the notification service health status of a specific secondary domain
Returning the recent health-related notifications of a specific secondary domain
Returning the zone transfer check status of a specific secondary domain
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 health metrics, event-driven notifications, and notification service monitoring to ensure alerts are generated and delivered as expected. With centralized insight into synchronization status, IP set activity, and recent domain events, users can proactively detect and resolve issues faster—minimizing disruptions and maintaining operational continuity.
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 AXFR Service Logs card to view the domain’s AXFR health status.
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 Nameserver card to view the domain’s nameserver health status.
注意
This procedure displays the notification service 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/notificationservice
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 notification service health status you want to view.
Select the HEALTH tab.
Locate the Notification > Notification Service card to view the domain’s notification service health status.
注意
This procedure displays the zone transfer check 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 check status you want to view.
Select the HEALTH tab.
Locate the Zone Transfer card to view the domain’s zone transfer check status.
