DNS Audit Tools (Alpha): 

The DNS audit tools perform a simple audit of both forward and reverse DNS. 

The tool set includes UI, API end points, and a command line interface. The audit results include the DNS as found in the 6connect ProVision database, the results from a resolver, and if there is a conflict in these two pieces of information. 


Accessing the Audit Tools: UI

1) Access the UI version of the Tool by going to the desired block in IPAM Manage, click on the Action Menu (wrench), then select "DNS Audit (Alpha):

This takes you to the DNS Audit page for the block.

2) From there, select the "Audit Forward DNS" or "Audit Reverse DNS" buttons to provide a list of IPs, the Reverse Values, Conflict Status, and Resolved Host(s).

Accessing the Audit Tools: API

Access the tools via the API through the use of:
