SolarWinds, a leading provider of powerful and affordable IT management software,
today announced that the company will offer DNSstuff, its online
collection of DNS management tools for email, network, domain, and IP
address lookup, for free. The free DNSstuff collection joins the
comprehensive set of SolarWinds free solutions that address pain points in network, systems, SIEM, virtualization, storage, alerting, and more.
"For years, SolarWinds
has developed dozens of free tools as a meaningful way to give back to
IT pros by addressing their specific IT management problems," said Sanjay Castelino, VP & Market Leader, SolarWinds.
"By making DNSstuff's wildly popular tools free, we're improving access
to an important set of diagnostic tools, and in the process continuing
our tradition of serving the IT community."
DNSstuff
allows users to access over 30 tools instantly to troubleshoot and
solve issues with DNS and email services, among others. DNSstuff
provides forensic analysis of a variety of domain and email concerns,
path analysis, and domain authentication and location. It keeps an eye
on blacklists and web, email and name server compliance and
connectivity.
Formerly a subscription-based product, DNSstuff offers the same
reliable third-party DNS insight as before, now at no cost. Some
DNSstuff tools include:
- DNS Report: All-in-one troubleshooting tool that
performs 55 diagnostic tests to show the health of DNS records and help
pinpoint issues reaching the site
- DNS Lookup: Displays stored and associated information with
registered domain names; translates domain names to IP addresses and
records the mail servers that accept mail for each domain
- Whois: Displays collected contact information for domain or IP address
- Various tools to provide concise assessment of common network access issues caused by DNS
Earlier this year, SolarWinds released its first fully featured free product, SolarWinds Alert Central.
Designed to help simplify IT alert management, SolarWinds Alert Central
helps consolidate, manage and escalate IT alerts from all types of IT
monitoring software.
Other popular SolarWinds free tools include SolarWinds TFTP Server, which allows easy uploading and downloading of executable images and configurations to routers and switches; IP Address Tracker, which scans, tracks and consolidates IP address information in one place; and WMI Monitor, which monitors Windows applications and servers in real time.
