Before InfraBeacon can capture your website for regression monitoring, you need to verify that you own or control the domain. You do this by adding a DNS TXT record.
Steps to verify
- Create a new regression monitor by entering your URL.
- Copy the verification token shown on the monitor setup page.
- Log in to your domain's DNS panel. This is usually with your domain registrar or hosting provider.
- Add a new TXT record with:
Host/Name: _infrabeacon-regression
- Value: Your unique verification token
- Save the record and wait for DNS to update. This usually takes 5-15 minutes, but can take up to 48 hours.
- Return to InfraBeacon and click the verify button.
Troubleshooting
If verification fails:
- Check the TXT record value matches exactly.
- Ensure the record is on
_infrabeacon-regression.yourdomain.com, not the root domain.
- Wait a little longer for DNS to update, then try again.
- Use a DNS lookup tool to check the record is visible publicly.
