Metrist

The platform continuously monitors DNS resolution using a globally distributed probe network that performs recursive queries, DNSSEC validation, and response integrity checks. It delivers real‑time alerts through webhook, email, Slack and a dashboard with latency heatmaps, error‑rate trends, and automated root‑cause analysis, and offers an API for integration with existing observability pipelines.

Problem

Website and application availability often hinges on reliable DNS resolution, yet misconfigurations, propagation delays, or upstream provider failures can cause intermittent DNS errors that lead to user-facing downtime and lost revenue.

Solution

The platform offers continuous, automated DNS health checks from globally distributed probe nodes, detecting resolution failures the moment they occur. It aggregates query responses, validates DNSSEC signatures, and correlates results with upstream resolver performance to pinpoint the root cause. Users receive real-time alerts through webhook, email, or Slack integrations, and can explore detailed diagnostics via a web dashboard that visualizes latency, error rates, and historical trends. An open API enables embedding DNS monitoring into existing observability pipelines, allowing teams to automate remediation workflows and reduce mean time to resolution.

Target Audience

The service is aimed at DevOps, Site Reliability Engineering, and network operations teams at SaaS providers, hosting companies, and enterprises that require proactive DNS reliability monitoring.

Features

  • Multi‑region probe network executing recursive DNS queries against authoritative and recursive servers on a configurable schedule
  • DNSSEC validation and DNS response integrity checks to detect spoofing or mis‑signed zones
  • Granular alerting rules with threshold‑based triggers, supporting webhook, PagerDuty, Slack, and email notifications
  • Interactive dashboard presenting per‑zone latency heatmaps, error‑rate time series, and automated root‑cause analysis reports
  • RESTful API and SDKs for custom query orchestration, data export, and integration with CI/CD or monitoring stacks (Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog)
  • Historical data retention with trend analytics to identify recurring propagation delays or provider outages
  • Role‑based access control and audit logging for compliance‑focused environments
