DNS Zone Transfer Attributes

Use DNS attributes to create situations to monitor DNS (Domain Name Server) server activity and performance.

DNS attributes are conveniently separated into five groups:

Use DNS Dynamic Update attributes to create situations to monitor dynamic update activity (both successful and failed) generated by clients. Use DNS Memory attributes to create situations to monitor DNS server activity associated with memory usage for User Datagram Protocol (UDP) and Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) traffic. Use DNS Query attributes to create situations to monitor various aspects of DNS server activity such as overall queries and responses processed by the server for User Datagram Protocol (UDP) and Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) traffic. Use DNS WINS attributes to create situations to monitor WINS lookup requests and responses that were sent and received by the server. Use DNS Zone Transfer attributes to create situations to monitor the success of zone transfer requests and responses that are sent and received by the master and secondary DNS servers.

DNS Zone Transfer is a single-instance attribute group.
