When you add DNS zones to xDNS profiles, they are shared between the servers that have been added to the profile. Zones are not included in the profiles initially, so you need to add them.
Once you've added zones an xDNS profile, you can monitor them from the xDNS profiles section of the Configuration tab on the Admin page. For example, you can monitor their statuses to make sure the zones are in sync and online.
xDNS status on zones
DDI orchestrator enables you to monitor the status of zones in xDNS profiles. When you select a zone on the DNS page that has been added to an xDNS profile, the xDNS status section of the Inspector will display each underlying zone instance with the name of the DNS service and a status indicator.
Status indicators include the following:- Green—The zone is in sync with other zones in the xDNS zone group.
- Yellow—The zone is out of sync and will be updated when possible.
- Gray—The server hosting the zone is unavailable, for example, offline.
- Red—The zone has disappeared/is missing from the server.
It’s possible to select multiple zones if all xDNS zones belong to the same profile, with each entry showing the aggregate state of the zone instances on each DNS service. If zones from multiple profiles are selected, the xDNS status section will be hidden.
