Use the Cloud DNS monitoring dashboard

You can monitor the health and performance of your Cloud DNS private zones using the predefined monitoring dashboard. Monitoring metrics helps you maintain the reliability and availability of your applications and services. You can customize how the data appears on the dashboard to satisfy your project requirements.

To access the dashboard, in the Google Cloud console, go to the Dashboards page.
