DNS Monitor
An alert when your domain’s settings change.
Your domain’s settings decide where your website and your email go. An unexpected change can cost you visitors and messages. We check the records every hour to once a day and tell you about a change before your customers notice it.
€1.00 / domain / month + €0.005 / check
Every account gets €5 of usage free each month, shared by all the tools. No card and no time limit: you pay only for what goes over. Sign in with your qzila account to use it.
What it does
- Checks your domain’s settings every hour, every 6 hours or once a day
- Alerts you when something changes, such as your website’s address, the mail server or who hosts the domain
- The alert shows what was there before and what is there now
- The alert stays until someone confirms the change, so it does not get lost among other emails
- Watches the email protection settings too (SPF, DKIM, DMARC)

Every account gets a 5 € credit each month, taken off the invoice. All the tools you use share it; the estimate assumes this is the only one.
The API
Every qzila tool is a GraphQL API first; the web UI is one client of it. Anything you can do in the browser you can do from a script, a CI job or the Asign platform.
https://dns-monitor.tools.qzila.com/graphqlPOST · application/json · { "query": "…" }
Requests are authenticated with your qzila session (the same sign-in as the browser). For automation, sign in once at identity.qzila.com and reuse the session cookie; API keys for service accounts are on the roadmap.
Whatever this tool detects — a verdict flip, a regression, a change, an incident — is emitted as a signal to the qzila alert hub, which forwards it to email, Slack, a webhook or Jira, and to Service Watch, which can also send it as an SMS. Each signal carries the asset it belongs to, so you can correlate it back to your own inventory (or to an Asign asset).

Questions about DNS Monitor
What exactly do you watch?
The important settings of the domain: where the website points, where mail goes, who hosts the domain and how your email is protected. Technically these are the A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, NS and TXT records; you choose which to watch for each domain. DMARC and DKIM live at their own addresses (for example _dmarc.example.com), which you add as another watched domain.
How quickly will I know about a change?
At the next check: depending on your setting, within an hour, within 6 hours or within a day. The alert shows the old and the new value and stays active until someone confirms the change.
Why would someone change my domain’s settings?
To send your website to a fake page or your email to their own mailbox. Often, though, a change happens by mistake, for example when moving hosting. Most companies find out from their customers; you find out at the next check.
How much does watching one domain cost?
Checked every 6 hours (the default), about €1.60 a month; checked every hour, about €4.60. The 5 € monthly credit is deducted from that.
Is the free credit a trial?
No. Every month your account gets €5 of usage free, shared by all the tools. If you stay under it, you pay nothing: no card, no time limit.
How am I billed?
Monthly, for what you actually had in the tool during the month, at the public price per unit. Everything lands on one invoice itemised per tool. Remove something and it stops billing the same day.
Where do alerts go?
Every tool reports through one alert hub. You choose per destination: email, Slack, a webhook, SMS or a Jira ticket — and Service Watch shows the same signals on one board.
Where is my data kept?
The tools run on AWS in the EU (Frankfurt), operated by adcore s.r.o., a Slovak company. A few services they rely on sit outside the EU — Stripe for card payments, Google for analytics after your consent, the threat-intelligence lookups behind Safe Check — and the privacy policy lists each one.
