Overview
To use the Domain Name System (DNS) traffic analysis feature, you must enable the feature first. This topic describes how to enable the DNS traffic analysis feature.
You are charged only after you enable this feature for a specific domain name. For more information about how to enable the DNS traffic analysis feature for a specific domain name, see Enable or disable the DNS traffic analysis feature for a domain name.
If you have not activated Authoritative DNS Advanced Service but have purchased a paid Alibaba Cloud DNS instance and bound the instance to multiple domain names, you can still use the DNS traffic analysis feature to collect statistics on DNS requests. However, you cannot use other advanced capabilities of the DNS traffic analysis feature, such as analysis of DNS request sources, analysis of matched DNS lines, analysis of DNS response characteristics, and query for DNS response details logs. The DNS traffic analysis feature does not apply to domain names that are bound to free Alibaba Cloud DNS instances.
