More Information
Summary:A method, system and computer-usable medium are disclosed for obtaining domain name system (DNS) monitoring data. A DNS data collector that can be either part of a local network or part of an external network is implemented. The DNS data collector receives and collects logs from DNS transactions collected from various sources that include DNS resolvers, DNS servers, and DNS aggregator, which can be part of a local network or can be part of an external network. The DNS data collector determines if the DNS logs are missing any data related to the DNS transactions. The missing DNS data is looked up and the DNS logs are completed. Completed DNS logs can then be sent for analysis, such as for DNS traffic threats.
