Monitoring Civo DNS
Monitoring your Civo DNS records automatically is made easy with ZoneWatcher. After you've added your account credentials, we will automatically import all of your domains and begin monitoring them for changes.
Generating your Civo API Token
To get started adding your Civo account, you'll first want to retrieve your API token from Civo's dashboard. We use this token to automatically fetch the domains and associated DNS records.
Navigate to your account security settings in the Civo dashboard. Under the API Keys section, create a new API key with permissions to read DNS zones and records. Make sure to copy and save your token securely as it will only be shown once.
Security Note
Store your API token securely. Anyone with access to this token can read your DNS configuration.
Setting up DNS at Civo
Before you can monitor your domains with ZoneWatcher, you need to add them to Civo's DNS management system. You can add domains through the Civo dashboard, and then update your domain's nameservers at your registrar to point to ns0.civo.com and ns1.civo.com.
Creating your Civo DNS Provider
Once you've retrieved your API token, you can create your new Civo DNS provider on ZoneWatcher by giving it a descriptive name and entering your API token.
Monitoring Your Zones
After you've created your Civo DNS provider, we will sync all the zones associated with your account and their associated DNS records. You'll be able to view them from either the Provider's page or the Zone Dashboard.
