Understand domain reports
Learn how to read and interpret your domain health reports to effectively monitor and maintain your infrastructure.
What is a domain report?
A domain report is a comprehensive snapshot of your domain's health at a specific point in time. Each manual or automated check generates a new report that includes:
- SSL certificate status and expiration
- Security headers configuration
- DNS health and configuration
- Domain registration expiration
- Domain reputation and threat detection
- Email authentication records (SPF, DKIM, DMARC)
Viewing reports
Latest report
In the dashboard, in the Domains page, each domain displays:
- Latest check timestamp
- Overall health status (Ok/Warning/Critical/Failed)
- Key pieces of information (e.g. domain expiry)
Click on any domain to view the latest reports and alerts. Reports are ordered with the most recent first. Automated reports are marked to distinguish them from manual checks.
