Query DNS and diagnose domain resolution.

Reviewed practical guide

How to use Run DNS, ping and traceroute checks and verify the result

Runs a general DNS query, four ping attempts or a traceroute capped at 12 hops from the server.

Enter a public domain or host and choose the operation; account for TTL and caching when repeating after DNS changes.

Practical example: Check basic name resolution and reachability while investigating an incident. Post-process verification is part of the workflow: a successful download alone does not prove that the content is correct.

What result to expect

The response obtained by the selected network operation from the service infrastructure.

When this is useful

  • Check basic name resolution and reachability while investigating an incident.
  • Check a test case before incorporating it into a workflow.
  • Repeat the process with different settings and compare both results.

Checks before sharing

  • Compare the response from your own network and with authoritative tools when the diagnosis matters.
  • Check that the input contains no sensitive information and that the selected units or format are correct.
  • Keep the input alongside the result whenever the calculation needs to be reproducible or auditable.

Limitations to understand

  • A specific DNS record type cannot be selected; ping may be blocked and traceroute shows the path from the server, not your device.
  • The result depends entirely on the quality and context of the entered data; interpret it only for its stated purpose.
  • The tool automates one specific operation; review the result whenever it will support a decision, publication or delivery.
