The record

Purpose: UpGex monitors expected DNS values, propagation, and delegation to catch routing drift before it becomes an outage.
Record types: It supports A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, TXT, NS, SOA, PTR, SRV, and other standard DNS record types.
Expected values: Each monitor compares resolved values with the expected values the user defines.
Check intervals: Check intervals are configurable per monitor and plan.
Retries and incidents: UpGex retries failed checks according to monitor settings and opens an incident after the configured threshold is reached.
Diagnostics: DNS incident diagnostics can compare public resolver responses, verify the authority chain, compare SOA serials, and classify common DNS failures.
Notifications: The DNS page lists Slack and email as alert channels and describes multi-channel alerts with incident context.
Other alert integrations: The pricing page lists Telegram, email, Slack, webhooks, Discord, Teams, PagerDuty, and SMS as alert channels.
API: Paid tiers include REST API access for managing monitors and platform resources.
Free tier: The free plan includes real monitoring, a full dashboard, and requires no credit card.
Credit limits: UpGex uses monthly credits, and the credit cost depends on monitor type, check interval, region, and add-ons.
Who it is for: The DNS page describes use during provider moves, domain transfers, infrastructure cutovers, releases, rollbacks, and ongoing drift detection.
Price from: $8.33/mo
