Monitoring your Vultr 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.
To get started adding your Vultr account, you'll first want to generate an API key from Vultr's account settings page. We use this key to automatically fetch your domains and their associated DNS records.
Navigate to your Vultr account settings and click on the "API" tab. If you haven't already enabled API access, you'll need to do so first. Once enabled, you can copy your Personal Access Token.
Important: We recommend enabling Access Control on your API key to restrict which IP addresses can use it. You can add ZoneWatcher's IP addresses to the allow list for added security. Additionally, note that Vultr API keys have full account access, so we recommend creating a sub-account with only DNS permissions if you want to limit the scope of access.
Once you've obtained your API key, you can create your new Vultr provider on ZoneWatcher by giving it a descriptive name and pasting in the API key you copied from your Vultr account.
After entering your credentials, click the "Save" button. ZoneWatcher will verify your API key and begin importing your domains.
After you've created your Vultr 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.
Vultr is a cloud infrastructure provider that offers DNS hosting as part of their services. Their DNS service provides a simple and reliable way to manage your domain's DNS records alongside your cloud infrastructure. Vultr DNS uses anycast nameservers (ns1.vultr.com and ns2.vultr.com) to ensure fast DNS resolution worldwide.
By monitoring your Vultr DNS records with ZoneWatcher, you can ensure that any unauthorized changes to your DNS configuration are quickly detected and reported, helping you maintain the security and integrity of your domain's DNS settings.
