Overview

BlueCat Edge is an intelligent DNS resolver and caching layer that leverages existing DNS infrastructure to provide unprecedented visibility and control over DNS traffic.

This integration ingests the DNS query logs.

  • DNS Query Logs: Logs that capture DNS request and response activity, including queried domains and source clients.

Integrate BlueCat Edge with Datadog to analyze DNS query logs using pre-built dashboards. Datadog parses and enriches these logs using built-in log pipelines, supporting search and analysis. You can also use this data with Cloud SIEM detection rules for security monitoring.
