How to Monitor DNS Activity

Step 1: Dashboard Overview

Every login lands on the main Dashboard by default. This dashboard presents a series of cards showing different data:

• DNS Requests per Hour: Real-time view of query volume
• DNS Requests per Day: Daily query trends
• DNS Request Types: Breakdown by query type (A, AAAA, CNAME, etc.)
• Blocks Per Category: Which content categories are being blocked most
• Top Clients: Most active devices on your network
• Top Blocked Domains: Most frequently blocked domains
• Top Allowed Domains: Most frequently accessed domains

This view gives you a quick overview of what is happening on your network.

Step 2: Activity Monitoring

Every account has the ability to dig deeper into the data via the Activity Monitoring page. This page aggregates all the logs for a specific network and presents them in a simple table view.

You can easily parse the logs using the Search & Filters feature. This view shows logs on a daily basis and offers the ability to choose which day to analyze.
