It's been widely published that today (Oct. 21, 2016) Dyn is experiencing widespread issues due to DDoS attacks; <A href="https://www.dynstatus.com">https://www.dynstatus.com</A>.</P> <P>Given this info, would Splunk consider adding an alternative DNS provider to their list of Name Servers to provide some insulation from widespread DNS issues?</P> <P>Also, I would love to see a "Service/Status Health" page for Splunk Cloud, against which we could subscribe to for pro-active alerting.</P> <P><span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper" image-alt="alt text"><img src="https://community.splunk.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/2034iE1112AFE5269E680/image-size/large?v=v2&amp;px=999" role="button" title="alt text" alt="alt text" /></span></P> Fri, 21 Oct 2016 17:09:52 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/Would-Splunk-Cloud-consider-adding-an-alternative-DNS-provider/m-p/262689#M50417 jstacey_intuit 2016-10-21T17:09:52Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/Would-Splunk-Cloud-consider-adding-an-alternative-DNS-provider/m-p/262690#M50418 <P>Apologies for the inconvenience. We are evaluating our options to improve DNS resiliency. Unfortunately there is no short term fix. We also agree on service health monitoring. We are working on it. </P> Fri, 21 Oct 2016 19:34:01 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/Would-Splunk-Cloud-consider-adding-an-alternative-DNS-provider/m-p/262690#M50418 sugupta_splunk 2016-10-21T19:34:01Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/Would-Splunk-Cloud-consider-adding-an-alternative-DNS-provider/m-p/262691#M50419 <P>Looks better, thanks!</P> <P><span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper" image-alt="alt text"><img src="https://community.splunk.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/2033i344CBE60760B41DD/image-size/large?v=v2&amp;px=999" role="button" title="alt text" alt="alt text" /></span></P> Tue, 25 Oct 2016 17:55:48 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/Would-Splunk-Cloud-consider-adding-an-alternative-DNS-provider/m-p/262691#M50419 jstacey_intuit 2016-10-25T17:55:48Z
