Know what changed, even outside DNSense

Most outages start with one wrong value, not a big migration. Time machine records every change, also the ones somebody made straight in the provider panel, and puts it back in one click.

Who changed it, when, and what it was before

Time machine with the before and after values of a change

The full record, before and after

Every entry holds the record as it was and as it became, not a line of text describing it. Search a zone's history by name, type or content to find the one change that matters.

  • The person behind every change, or a clear mark when it happened outside DNSense
  • One history per zone, whichever provider hosts it
  • Revert a created, edited or deleted record with one click
Notification of an A record changed outside DNSense, with old and new value

Changes made at the provider are caught too

A colleague logs in at Cloudflare and edits the A record directly. DNSense compares your zones with what the provider serves, so that change still lands in Time machine, marked as made outside DNSense.

  • Zones are rechecked in the background, no action needed
  • Outside changes can be reverted like any other change
  • The team gets a notification with the old and new value
Recent activity with a change the provider refused and its error message

A refusal in the provider's own words

Provider APIs fail in their own way. DNSense queues each change, follows it through and tells you the moment one is refused, with the reason the provider gave.

  • No generic "something went wrong", the provider's message as it was returned
  • The zone it concerns one click away
  • A change that stalls halfway is flagged instead of reported as done
Questions

Frequently asked questions about DNS monitoring

Time machine keeps every change made inside your zones with no cut-off date, so you can look back at an old change and revert it whenever you need to.

Yes. DNSense rechecks your zones against the provider in the background. A change made outside DNSense shows up in Time machine and in your notifications, and you can revert it there.

No. The zone history holds DNS record changes with the record before and after, ready to revert. The audit log covers every action in the platform, including logins, roles and connections.

All of them. Nothing in DNSense is locked behind a plan, so monitoring is there from your first domain on the free tier.
