Description: Manages the BlueCat Networks ADONIS DNS/DHCP appliance, providing zone configuration, query statistics, and DHCP lease information.

Start monitoring vendor-neutral, standards-based MIB, any SNMPv3-capable network device (SNMP engine identity/boot/clock status) with a free 30-day trial of IPNetwork Monitor. Import MIBs, browse SNMP OIDs, create custom SNMP monitors, configure alerts, and monitor any SNMP-enabled network device from a single console.

What Is ADONIS-DNS-MIB?

ADONIS-DNS-MIB manages the BlueCat Networks Adonis DNS/DHCP appliance, exposing zone configuration, query statistics, and DHCP lease information for the appliance's DNS server daemon. It provides both software-status objects, such as whether the DNS daemon is running (dnsDaemonRunning) and how many zones it is authoritative for, and performance/traffic counters covering query resolution outcomes. Its monitoring emphasis is clearly software/service health: daemon running state, zone transfer activity and failures, SOA query backlog, and detailed DNS response statistics (success, referral, NXDOMAIN, NXRRSET) that reveal resolution problems or attack patterns. It is a vendor-specific extension likely used alongside the standard DNS-SERVER-MIB conventions for baseline DNS statistics. It is deployed in enterprise/carrier DNS infrastructure built on BlueCat Adonis appliances for centralized DNS/DHCP management, where ADONIS-DNS-MIB SNMP monitoring tracks daemon health and query-resolution outcomes.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in ADONIS-DNS-MIB. Use the built-in SNMP Monitoring Browser to explore available variables, view their current values and descriptions, and select the objects you want to monitor. You can then create SNMP monitors, configure thresholds, and receive alerts when monitored values change.

Supported Devices

BlueCat Networks Adonis DNS/DHCP appliance

Monitoring Examples

An administrator would poll dnsDaemonRunning to confirm the DNS service is alive, then check dnsDaemonZoneTransfersInProgress, dnsDaemonZoneTransfersDeferred, and the dnsDaemonZoneTransferFailure trap to catch replication problems between primary and secondary DNS servers. Watching dnsStatsNXDomain and dnsStatsNXRRSet rates alongside dnsStatsSuccess would reveal whether clients are hitting an unusual volume of failed lookups, potentially indicating misconfigured records or a DNS-based attack. A rising dnsDaemonSOAQueriesInProgress count could indicate zone-transfer contention or replication delay.

What Can Be Monitored

DNS daemon running state
number of authoritative zones
zone transfer activity and failures
DNS query outcome statistics (success/referral/NXDOMAIN/NXRRSET)
SOA query backlog

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using dnsStatsSuccess OID:

Select a BlueCat Networks Adonis DNS/DHCP appliance as the target host to create a monitor — the SNMP service should be up and running on it. Click New Monitor, then check SNMP Custom on the Favorites tab, click Next, and confirm the host. On the next page, click Select... to open the built-in SNMP MIB Browser and type dnsStatsSuccess into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, then select it and click OK. It reports the number of successful queries made to the server since dns daemon was started. On the monitor's Main parameters page you can set the target's SNMP port (default 161), credentials, polling interval, and other settings — see the SNMP Monitor help for details. On the State conditions and Alerting tabs, configure when the monitor should change state and trigger an alert; since this is a Counter64-type OID, Value bounds is the most useful condition here — trigger an alert if the counter increases sharply between polls relative to its normal baseline, since an unexpected spike often reflects a real change in traffic or activity. Click Finish to create the monitor; you can adjust any parameter later.
