View Hostname Query Volume in Query Analytics

This article explains how to view hostname query volume by day using the Query Analytics report in UltraDNS.

Overview

The Query Analytics report provides zone-level query volume and a drill-down Host Report for hostname-level query volume.

Query Analytics data is not real-time. 

The report shows completed historical query data and does not include query data for the current day.

When to Use This Article

• You need to view query volume for hostnames within a zone.
• You need to identify the highest queried hostnames for a selected date.
• You need to drill down from zone-level query volume to hostname-level query volume.

Before You Begin

• You must have access to the UltraDNS account that contains the zone.
• The zone must appear in the Query Analytics report.
• The Host Report button is only available after at least one zone is selected.

Steps

1. Log in to UltraDNS.
2. Click Reports.
3. Select Query Analytics.
4. In the Date Range field, select the calendar icon.
5. Select the date you want to report on.
6. Select the same date again to create a one-day date range.
7. Click Apply.
8. In the zone results table, select the checkbox next to the zone you want to review.
9. Click Host Report.
10. Use the Host Name field to search for a specific hostname, or review the table to see hostname query volume.

Expected Outcome

The Host Query Volume Report opens for the selected zone. 

The report displays hostname-level query volume, including the highest queried hostnames for the selected date range.

Important Notes

• The current day cannot be selected for this report.
• The Host Report button remains unavailable until a zone is selected.
• The Host Query Volume Report can be filtered by Date Range, Host Name, and Zone Name.
• The report can be exported as a .csv file.
