Hi, we started getting alerts this afternoon about DNS User Experience Monitor failing to resolve solarwinds.com. I've checked all of our DNS servers and public ones with NSLookup and no IP addresses are returned. > solarwinds.com Server: dns.google Address: 8.8.8.8 Name: solarwinds.com MXToolbox confirms that there isn't…
Hello Everyone I am having a few problems with DNS User Experience Monitor. Basically I added a new Domain Controller in SAM (V6.2.3) and Installed the agent on it. The Server is also a DNS and DHCP host. All monitors are polling fine apart from the DNS User Experience Monitor. It just shows "Connection Timeout" For the…
We are looking to use the DNS User Experience Monitor on our DNS servers and would like to set it up so that each server is queried against multiple entries and a response is returned indicating each query object and it's corresponding result. Is this possible and how would it be done?

What are these percentages based off of? I left the default (www.solarwinds.com) FQDN to test against. Does that mean that…
I've got both internal and external users. We have multiple DNS Servers for internal users and other DNS servers (in the DMZ) for public lookups. I have one Orion installation located internally and I want to test the functionality of each of these DNS servers independently. The DNS User Experience Monitor in SAM 5.5…
I have reason to believe that our AD DC's which are acting as our primary internet DNS are having issues. I created 4 DNS User Experience monitors to quantify the issues. Set to 60 second interval and no additional Windows monitors for these servers. What I'm finding is occasional and random timeouts amongst the 4…
