Monitoring Gcore DNS
Monitoring your Gcore 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 Gcore DNS API Token
To get started adding your Gcore DNS account, you'll first want to generate an API token from the Gcore Control Panel. We use this token to automatically fetch your domains and their associated DNS records.
Navigate to Profile → API Tokens and click "Create API Token". Give your token a descriptive name (e.g., "ZoneWatcher Integration") and ensure it has DNS read permissions.
Important: Make sure to copy your API token immediately after creation, as Gcore will only display it once. Store it securely until you've added it to ZoneWatcher. Keep your token confidential as it provides access to your DNS configuration.
Creating your Gcore Provider
Once you've generated your API token, you can create your new Gcore provider on ZoneWatcher by giving it a descriptive name and pasting in the API token you generated.
After entering your credentials, click the "Save" button. ZoneWatcher will verify your API token and begin importing your domains.
Monitoring Your Zones
After you've created your Gcore 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.
