# Agent Integration: Microsoft DNS

## Overview

[Microsoft DNS][4] is a crucial service within Windows Server that translates domain names into IP addresses, enabling computers to locate each other on a network. It supports features like Dynamic DNS (DDNS), zone transfers, conditional forwarding, DNSSEC for security, and scavenging to remove stale records.

This integration enriches and ingests the [DNS Server audit events][5]. Visualize detailed insights into these events through the out-of-the-box dashboards. Additionally, it includes ready-to-use Cloud SIEM detection rules for enhanced monitoring and security.

## Setup

### Installation

To install the Microsoft DNS integration, run the following Agent installation command and the steps below. For more information, see the [Integration Management][6] documentation.

**Note**: This step is not necessary for Agent version >= 7.66.0.

Run powershell.exe as admin and execute following command:
```powershell
& "$env:ProgramFiles\Datadog\Datadog Agent\bin\agent.exe" integration install datadog-microsoft_dns==1.0.0
```

### Configuration

#### Configure Log Collection

1. Collecting logs is disabled by default in the Datadog Agent. Enable it in the `datadog.yaml` file with:

```yaml
logs_enabled: true
```

2. Add this configuration block to your `microsoft_dns.d/conf.yaml` file to start collecting your Microsoft DNS Server audit events:

```yaml
logs:
- type: windows_event
channel_path: "Microsoft-Windows-DNSServer/Audit"
source: microsoft-dns
service: microsoft-dns
sourcecategory: windowsevent
```

3. [Restart the Agent][3].

### Validation

[Run the Agent's status subcommand][7] and look for `microsoft_dns` under the Checks section.
