Query fields

A DNS query returns one series of request counts. An alert rule on that series changes state when the request count crosses a threshold. Zone: All Zones, or one zone. All Zones returns one series of request counts with the legend Requests (All Zones), and one zone uses that zone name in the legend. Record type: ALL, A, AAAA, NS, CNAME, MX, TXT, SVCB, or HTTPS. ALL includes requests for all record types, and any other value limits the series to that type and appends the type to the legend. Granularity: 5m, 10m, 15m, 30m, 1h, 1.5h, 2h45m, or 24h. The default value is 5m, and each point is the number of requests in that interval. Legend: optional. An empty field keeps the generated series name. All Zones, granularity 5m, and record type ALL:
