DNS Check is a domain DNS monitoring service that lets teams monitor, share, and troubleshoot DNS records across multiple record types (A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, NS, PTR, SOA, SPF, SRV, TXT). The platform detects unresponsive name servers, incorrect IP addresses, missing or duplicated records, SPF record problems, and out-of-sync name servers, with notifications when records change or fail. The DNS Check REST API provides programmatic access to DNS record and DNS record group monitoring using a 32-character API key passed as a query parameter.
