Domain Monitoring
Domain Monitoring tracks configured domains as first-class monitoring targets so operations teams can identify domain-related risks before they affect availability, ownership continuity, or incident response.
What Domain Monitoring Checks
- Domain status and current monitoring state.
- Last check time and recent status changes.
- Alert state for risky, degraded, unavailable, or unknown domains.
- Dashboard visibility for monitored domains and domain history.
Product Boundaries
- Use Domain Monitoring to understand whether a domain itself is healthy and operationally safe.
- Use DNS Monitoring to validate record resolution, expected answers, propagation behavior, and DNS latency.
- Use Endpoint Monitoring to confirm that a specific URL, application, or service responds successfully.
Data And Alerts
- Domain name.
- Current domain status.
- Last check time.
- Alert state and recent check result.
Domain Monitoring alerts when a domain moves from an expected healthy state to a risky, degraded, unavailable, or unknown state. Alert routing uses the same notification and incident integrations as the rest of the Bitaic monitoring platform.
Configuration Example
Configuration note
Configure the domains to monitor, the certificate or registration renewal notification window, and expected nameservers for drift checks.
domains:
- name: example.com
expiration_alert_days: 30
expected_nameservers:
- ns1.example-dns.com
- ns2.example-dns.comCLI And API
Bitaic CLI and API workflows cover adding, listing, checking, and removing monitored domains.
