Monitoring CSC Global DNS
Monitoring your CSC Global (Digital Brand Services) 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 CSC Global API Credentials
To get started adding your CSC Global DNS account, you'll need both an API Key and an API Token from CSC's DomainManager platform. These credentials are used to securely access your DNS zone data through the CSC DomainManager REST API.
Contact your CSC service representative to request API access for your account. They will provide you with an API key and API token, and help you set up a service account with the appropriate permissions for DNS zone read access.
Important: Store your API key and API token securely. These credentials provide access to your DNS configuration and should be kept confidential. Ensure your service account has at minimum read-only access to DNS zones.
Creating your CSC Global Provider
Once you have your API credentials, you can create your new CSC Global provider on ZoneWatcher by giving it a descriptive name and entering your API key and API token.
After entering your credentials, click the "Save" button. ZoneWatcher will verify your API credentials and begin importing your domains.
Monitoring Your Zones
After you've created your CSC Global 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.
ZoneWatcher will automatically check for changes to your DNS records on a regular schedule. When changes are detected, you'll receive notifications through your configured notification channels, allowing you to stay informed about any modifications to your DNS configuration.
