Checking DNS Record Status

You can determine whether your domain name is properly resolving to your AEM as a Cloud Service website by clicking the Status icon for the DNS record from the table on the Environments from the Domain Settings page.

Cloud Manager will automatically trigger a DNS lookup when your Custom Domain Name is first successfully verified and deployed. For subsequent attempts, you must actively select the resolve again icon next to the status.

Cloud Manager performs a DNS lookup for your domain name and displays one of the following status messages:

• DNS status not detected
  DNS status will not be detected until your custom domain name has been successfully verified and deployed. This status is also observed when your Custom Domain name is in the process of deletion.

• DNS Resolves Incorrectly
  This indicates that either DNS records configuration has not resolved/pointed over yet or is erroneous.

  NOTE

  You must configure either a CNAME or A-record by following the corresponding instructions. Refer to Configuring DNS Settings to learn more. When ready, you must select the resolve again icon next to the status.

• DNS Resolution In Progress
  Resolution is in progress. This status is typically seen after you select the ‘resolve again’ icon next to the status.

• DNS Resolves Correctly
  Your DNS settings are properly configured. Your site is serving visitors.
