DNS Lookup in Kubernetes

arora138 — Mon, 08 Jan 2024 22:07:22 GMT

I have found this post: https://www.dynatrace.com/news/blog/monitor-your-whole-infrastructure-using-synthetic-monitors/, but I'm not sure if this can be set up to run for K8s monitoring. Any info on that?

Hi @arora138,

I do not know that dns lookup extension (type 1.0) in deatails and the configuration possibilities. But technically you can install it on an external Active gate (outside of K8s) and test it.

Best regards,

Hello @arora138

We are using the 'ActiveGate extension' to monitor all the internal DNS endpoints.
