Can I silence DNS record change notifications?
Yes. DNS change notifications are useful in principle (unexpected DNS changes can indicate a breach or a misconfigured deploy) but they're noisy in environments where DNS is managed programmatically. You have a few options.
Silence DNS change alerts per notification channel
Each notification channel has a list of events it subscribes to. To stop a channel from receiving DNS change alerts:
- Open the monitor or team-level notification settings.
- Click the notification channel you want to edit.
- Uncheck DNS records changed.
- Save.
Other DNS-related alerts (like "DNS issue found" or "DNS issue fixed") are separate events, so you can keep those on while silencing just the change-detection noise.
Ignore specific record types
If only some records are noisy (for example TXT records that change often for email deliverability), you don't have to silence everything. Tell the DNS check which record types to skip in the monitor's DNS check settings, under Ignored record types. It keeps watching the rest.
Snooze DNS alerts temporarily
About to make deliberate DNS changes and don't want to hear about them? Snooze the DNS check for a few hours or days. Alerts resume automatically after the snooze expires.
