Azure Private DNS Zone Monitoring Integration

Without the need for a customized DNS solution, Azure Private DNS delivers a dependable and secure DNS service for managing and resolving domain names in a virtual network. If you use private DNS zones, you can use your own unique domain names instead of the Azure-provided names currently accessible.

By integrating Azure Private DNS with Site24x7, you can now monitor your Private DNS zone, configure thresholds, and receive alerts about critical issues.

Setup and configuration

You can add Azure Private DNS zone while adding a new monitor, or you can add it to an existing Azure monitor. Follow these steps to add the service.
