If you enabled Aging and Scavenging in the Distributed DDNS Application Node, you can view Aging and Scavenging reports of resource records, and configure scheduled scavenging of specific resource record types.

  • Aging is the process of identifying stale DNS records based on the refresh and non-refresh intervals.

  • Scavenging refers to the cleanup and removal of stale DNS resource records that are no longer needed.

To view Aging and Scavenging reports, click the Aging & Scavenging tab.

BlueCat Distributed DDNS updates and scavenges the following resource record types: A, AAAA, CNAME, SRV, PTR, and TXT

  • Aging Records: Opens the Aging Records Report, where you can manually identify and scavenge (remove) stale records.

  • Scavenging Exemptions: Opens the Scavenging Exemptions page, which lists permanent records that are exempt from scavenging.

  • Scavenging by Type: Opens the Scavenging Resource Records report, where you can schedule automated scavenging jobs for records of specific types.
