Dear Colleague,
This is to notify you that the ICANN Monitoring System API (MoSAPI) for generic and country code top-level domain (gTLD/ccTLD) registries beta testing has
concluded and the MoSAPI is now available in production. You may consider using this service to monitor the health of your ccTLD DNS service in near real-time.
The measurements are based on DNS service availability as defined in Specification 10 of the
gTLD Base Registry Agreement (for example, the DNS service is considered to be up when all the IP addresses of at least two of the name servers for
a given TLD are considered to be up). We recognize the gTLD Base Registry Agreement does not apply to ccTLDs, but as a service to the community, the monitoring data of the ccTLD is available to the ccTLD operator. The technical specification of the system
is
here.
The MoSAPI includes the ability to:
·
Monitor the state of a TLD.
·
Monitor the alarm status of a service.
·
Monitor the availability of a service.
·
Monitor the state of a particular incident.
·
Monitor the false positive flag of an incident.
·
Query a list of incidents for a service.
·
Query the list of measurements for an incident.
·
Query the details of a particular measurement.
·
Retrieve the list of IP addresses used in the probe node network.
To request access to the MoSAPI, please contact the ICANN Global Support Center using the contact details below. Please state the ccTLD for which you are
requesting access. ICANN will contact the administrative and technical contacts of the ccTLD as listed in the IANA Root Database to validate the information and provide access.
More information about MoSAPI is available by viewing this presentation and audio recording from the ICANN60 session
here.
If you have questions, please contact ICANN’s Global Support Center by
email
or at one of the phone numbers found
here.
