DNS Records. WHOIS Data. Change History.

FlareWarden automatically tracks DNS and domain registration data for every monitor. No separate setup, no extra cost.

DNS Record Tracking

A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, TXT, and CAA records.

WHOIS Registration

Registrar, expiry dates, and registration status.

IP Change Detection

Track IPv4 and IPv6 changes with full history.

DNSSEC Validation

Verify chain of trust is intact and configured.

Email Security

Detect missing SPF and DMARC records.

DNS Failure Alerts

Instant alerts on lookup failures and recovery.

Zero Configuration

How It Works

Domain and DNS monitoring is automatic. There are no extra monitors to create or settings to enable.

1

Add a Monitor

Create an uptime monitor for any URL. Smart Setup can do this for you automatically.

2

DNS & WHOIS Tracked

FlareWarden begins querying DNS records and WHOIS data immediately — six record types, nameservers, registrar, and expiry date.

3

Get Alerted on Changes

IP changes, record updates, and DNS failures trigger email and webhook alerts. Everything is logged with timestamps in your dashboard.

DNS Records

Every Record Type. Every Change.

FlareWarden tracks six DNS record types for every monitor. When records change — whether from a migration, a misconfiguration, or something worse — you'll see it in your dashboard.

A & AAAA: IPv4 and IPv6 address records
MX: mail exchange servers and priorities
TXT & CAA: verification records and certificate authority authorization
CNAME: alias records and canonical names
WHOIS Tracking

Your Domain Registration at a Glance

FlareWarden periodically queries WHOIS data for your domain and displays the key registration details in your dashboard. See your registrar, expiration date, transfer lock status, and nameservers without leaving your monitoring view.

Expiration date: see days remaining until your domain expires
Transfer lock: verify your domain is protected against unauthorized transfers
Nameservers: confirm your DNS is pointing to the right provider
Change detection: registrar, nameserver, and expiry changes are tracked
Email Security

SPF & DMARC. The DNS Records That Protect Your Email.

A missing or misconfigured SPF record means your emails land in spam. A missing DMARC record means anyone can send email pretending to be you. These are TXT records in your DNS — and FlareWarden checks them automatically.

SPF detection: confirms your domain has a valid SPF record defining authorized senders
DMARC detection: verifies your domain publishes a DMARC policy to prevent spoofing
MX records: tracks your mail exchange servers and their priorities
Change tracking: see when email-related records are added, modified, or removed
DNSSEC

DNSSEC Validation. Trust Verified.

DNSSEC protects your domain from DNS spoofing and cache poisoning — but only when it's configured correctly. FlareWarden validates that your DNSSEC chain of trust is intact and alerts you when something goes wrong.

Chain of trust: validates DS, DNSKEY, and RRSIG records from root to your domain
Configuration check: detects when DNSSEC is enabled, disabled, or misconfigured
Signature validation: checks that RRSIG signatures are present and not expired
Dashboard status: clear enabled/disabled/misconfigured indicator for every monitor
Change Detection

Catch IP Changes Before They Cause Problems

IP address changes can signal a DNS migration, a CDN switch, or a hijack. FlareWarden tracks both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses and keeps a full history of every change.

IPv4 & IPv6: track both A and AAAA record changes
Change history: see old and new IP values with timestamps
TTL tracking: monitor time-to-live values and get recommendations
Response time: DNS resolution speed for each lookup
Notifications

Know the Moment Something Changes

Detection without notification is just data. FlareWarden alerts you through the channels you already use so DNS problems become action items, not surprises.

Email Alerts

Detailed incident and recovery emails with the context you need to diagnose the issue — what changed, when, and what the current state looks like.

Webhooks

Send alerts to any URL. Connect FlareWarden to Slack, Discord, PagerDuty, or your own internal tools with a simple webhook endpoint.

What Triggers Alerts

DNS lookup failures, recovery after a failure, and cross-region validation to eliminate false positives. No alert noise — only confirmed problems.

Frequently Asked Questions

No. DNS and domain monitoring is automatic for every uptime monitor. When you create a monitor for any URL, FlareWarden begins tracking DNS records and WHOIS data immediately. There is no extra setup or cost.

FlareWarden tracks six DNS record types: A (IPv4), AAAA (IPv6), CNAME (aliases), MX (mail servers), TXT (verification and SPF records), and CAA (certificate authority authorization). It also checks for SPF and DMARC presence and validates DNSSEC configuration.

Yes. FlareWarden queries WHOIS data for your domain and displays the expiration date along with the number of days remaining. You can see your registrar, creation date, transfer lock status, and nameservers from your monitor's DNS tab.

When a DNS lookup fails, FlareWarden validates the failure from multiple regions to rule out false positives. Once confirmed, you receive an alert via email and webhook with the failure details. When DNS starts resolving again, you get a recovery notification with the downtime duration.

Yes. DNS and domain monitoring is included on every plan, including the free plan. Any monitor you create automatically gets full DNS record tracking, WHOIS data, and IP change detection.
