DNS IP
The DNS IP integration will expose an IP address, fetched via DNS resolution (every 2 minutes), as its value. It provides both IPv4 and IPv6 lookup as separate sensors depending on accessibility to resolvers.
- When you enable the integration with the default value, it will query the OpenDNS nameservers with the hostname
myip.opendns.com, which will resolve to your external/public IP address. - If you specify a
hostname, a regular DNS lookup will be performed, providing you the IP the hostname resolves to.
