DNS monitoring
One changed DNS record, and everything stops.
A misconfiguration, an expired zone or a hijack is all it takes to make your website or email unreachable. LucidStack checks your records and alerts you as soon as they change.

A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, TXT and NS, for your websites, email and delegations.
Expected values
Specify the values that must be present: any difference opens an incident.
Resolver of your choice
Query a specific public resolver, such as 1.1.1.1 or 8.8.8.8, to check propagation.
Changes detected
Changes to your domains' records are detected and reported.
Name servers
A change to your domain's name servers is reported, a classic sign of hijacking.
Linked to your domains
Combine with domain expiry and certificate monitoring for a complete view.
