Palo Alto Networks provides several options
to monitor DNS Security activity to accommodate intelligence retrieval
for a range of products that rely on DNS Security and the associated
traffic data. Depending on the product platform, you can access
high-level dashboards that provide DNS request statistics and usage
trends, including context into network activity, to specific DNS
request details from specific users in the form of logging data.
The DNS Security dashboard provides a view into
your networks DNS query data as well as the ability to drill down
into various DNS trends. Each dashboard card provides a unique view
into how DNS requests are processed and categorized in a graphical
report format. This allows you to see, at a glance, a high-level
view of your organization’s DNS usage statistics.
You can
also view the logs that are automatically generated when DNS requests
are processed. These event files are time-stamped and provide an
audit trail when configured to do, based on the DNS category log
configuration. DNS log entries can contain various details about
the DNS request, including the nature of the DNS threat posed by
the associated domain, as well as action taken when the threat was
detected.
Palo Alto Networks provides several methods to monitor
the DNS Security activity based on your platform.
