DNS service
Domain Name System (DNS) is a core Internet service. With DNS, users can use easy-to-remember
domain names in some applications and let the DNS service translate them into IP addresses. The
default DNS service ports are TCP 53 and UDP 53.
APM monitors the DNS service status by requesting the DNS service to translate a specified domain
name into an IP address. This section describes how to add and modify a DNS monitor, and helps view
the monitor report.
Adding a DNS service application monitor
APM monitors DNS status through DNS service ports. When you add the application monitor for DNS
service, make sure the following requirements are satisfied:
The host on which the DNS service you want to monitor is located must be added to the IMC
Platform. For information about adding a host to the IMC Platform, see IMC Base Platform
Administrator Guide for the chapter on resource management.
If the host to be monitored runs on an enterprise or organization network that uses public DNS
servers on the Internet, make sure the host is added to the IMC Platform, and no SNMP, Telnet or
SSH settings need be configured.
To add a DNS service application monitor:
