What DumbMonit watches

A registered domain, read from its registry over RDAP: the days left before it expires, a hold that takes it out of the DNS, a redemption period, its registrar and whether its delegation is signed with DNSSEC. RDAP is the successor of WHOIS: the same registration data, as JSON, with a standard format across registries. DumbMonit finds the registry of the extension in the IANA RDAP bootstrap file (https://data.iana.org/rdap/dns.json, read at most once a day), then asks it /domain/example.com. No credential is needed, and nothing but the registration of the domain is asked.

Typical use. Registered domain over RDAP: days before expiry, hold, redemption period, registrar

Examples

  • example.com
  • Your company's domain
  • The domain of your mail server

How it connects

No account needed.

Network ports to open

  • 443/TCPRDAP query to the registry and to the IANA (HTTPS)
Setup steps: Watch a domain's registration
  1. Enter the registered domain, for example "example.com", not a name under it such as www.example.com.

  2. For an extension the IANA does not list, such as .ch, set "RDAP server" to the registry's address.

    https://rdap.nic.ch/

Heads-up. A domain in clientHold or serverHold is taken out of the DNS: every site and mailbox under it stops.
