DomainTools Monitors
What DomainTools Monitors is
DomainTools Monitors tracks changes involving domains, IP addresses, registrants, and authoritative name servers. Brand Monitor searches registrations containing words, phrases, or partial words across generic, new, and many country-code TLDs, then reports matching registrations and deletions. Registrant Monitor matches WHOIS names, email addresses, physical addresses, postal codes, and phone numbers, and reports registrations, ownership changes, or deletions. Name Server Monitor follows domains resolved by monitored name servers, while IP Monitor tracks domains moving to or from monitored IP addresses. Daily email alerts and dashboard review are available. DomainTools documents APIs for all four monitor types and integrations including Splunk, Microsoft Sentinel, Elastic, Google Chronicle, IBM QRadar, Palo Alto Cortex, ServiceNow, and Tines. A name server with over 50,000 domains cannot be monitored.
