## Query fields A DNS query returns one series of request counts. An [alert rule](/developer-tools/grafana/create-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**: DNS requests for all zones
