DNS logging records raw access logs of all queries to your zone. This is useful for debugging, security analysis, and traffic monitoring.
Enable logging
To enable DNS logging:
- Go to DNS and select your DNS Zone
- Click Logging in the zone menu
- Click Settings
- Enable logging
- Save your configuration
When enabled, the zone records and stores raw access logs of all queries for up to 3 days.
View logs
Once logging is enabled, the Logging page displays query logs with the following information:
| Field | Description |
|---|
| Query Type | The DNS record type requested (A, AAAA, CNAME, etc.) |
| Hostname | The queried hostname |
| Remote IP | The IP address that made the query |
| EDNS IP | The EDNS client subnet IP, if provided |
| Response Values | The DNS response returned |
Privacy settings
Anonymize log IPs
Enabled by default, this setting anonymizes IP addresses in DNS logs to ensure compliance with GDPR privacy regulations.
Log anonymization type
Choose how IP addresses are anonymized:
- Remove one octet: Masks the last segment of the IP address
- Drop IP completely: Removes the IP address entirely from logs
