Monitoring Linode DNS

Monitoring your Linode 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.

Creating your Linode Provider

Create your new Linode provider on ZoneWatcher by giving it a descriptive name, and clicking the "Save & Authenticate with Linode" button. You'll be redirected to Linode's OAuth page where you can authorize ZoneWatcher to access the DNS records for your account.

Linode Provider Setup

Change Management & Rollback

ZoneWatcher's Linode integration uses OAuth and currently requests the domains:read_only scope. As a result, Change Management and rollback are not available for Linode providers today — we don't have permission to write changes back to your account.

If you need ZoneWatcher to apply or revert DNS changes for Linode, please reach out to support so we can prioritize this. In the meantime, monitoring and change notifications work normally.

Monitoring Your Zones

After you've created your Linode 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.
