The following shows how to generate the dns-analytics-edns-traffic-by-zone report using either the Reporting API's Generate a report POST operation or the Get a cacheable report GET operation. Details about each report's supported products, metrics, filters, and available data intervals are also available dynamically by running the API's Get a report type operation, also shown below. See also other available reports.

Report definition

This report shows all DNS requests, requests with NXDOMAIN responses, and requests that do not have NXDOMAIN responses. This data is shown based on zone.

Business object: edns

Data available for: 90 days

Available metrics

Metric	Description
Data metrics
`investigateLink`	Link to the Zone Details dashboard in Control Center.
`percentNxDomainResponses`	Percent of responses that were NXDOMAIN responses.
`sumHits`	Total number of requests.
`sumNxDomain`	Total number of requests with NXDOMAIN responses.
`zoneName`	Name of the zone.

POST request

POST /reporting-api/v1/reports/dns-analytics-edns-traffic-by-zone/versions/1/report-data{?start,end}

Sample: /reporting-api/v1/reports/dns-analytics-edns-traffic-by-zone/versions/1/report-data?start=2026-02-01T00%3A00%3A00Z&end=2026-03-01T00%3A00%3A00Z

Query parameters

Parameter	Type	Sample	Description
Required
`start`	String	`2026-02-01T00:00:00Z`	Specifies the start of the reported period as an ISO-8601 timestamp with optional time zone. The report includes data that matches the `start` value’s timestamp.
`end`	String	`2026-03-01T00:00:00Z`	Specifies the end of the reported period as an ISO-8601 timestamp with optional time zone. The report excludes any data that matches the `end` value’s timestamp.

JSON request members

Member	Type	Description
`objectIds`	Array	Specifies the set of `edns` values you want to report on.
`objectIds`	Enumeration	As an alternative to an array of ID values, specify `all` as a string for unfiltered data. Either way, `objectIds` is required.
`metrics`	Array	The set of desired metrics. If omitted, the report includes all available metrics.

Request body:

{
    "objectIds": [
        "www.example.com",
        "m.example.com",
        "blog.example.com",
        "example1.com",
        "example2.com",
        "example3.com",
        "example4.com"
    ],
    "metrics": [
        "investigateLink",
        "percentNxDomainResponses",
        "sumHits",
        "sumNxDomain",
        "zoneName"
    ]
}

GET request

GET /reporting-api/v1/reports/dns-analytics-edns-traffic-by-zone/versions/1/report-data{?start,end,objectIds,allObjectIds,metrics}

Sample: /reporting-api/v1/reports/dns-analytics-edns-traffic-by-zone/versions/1/report-data?start=2026-02-01T00%3A00%3A00Z&end=2026-03-01T00%3A00%3A00Z&objectIds=www.example.com,m.example.com,blog.example.com,example1.com,example2.com,example3.com,example4.com&metrics=investigateLink%2CpercentNxDomainResponses

Query parameters

Parameter	Type	Sample	Description
Required
`start`	String	`2026-02-01T00:00:00Z`	Specifies the start of the reported period as an ISO-8601 timestamp with optional time zone. The report includes data that matches the `start` value’s timestamp.
`end`	String	`2026-03-01T00:00:00Z`	Specifies the end of the reported period as an ISO-8601 timestamp with optional time zone. The report excludes any data that matches the `end` value’s timestamp.
Optional
`allObjectIds`	Boolean	`true`	As an alternative to `objectIds`, enabling this generates a report that includes all IDs available for the `edns` objectType. This parameter is ignored if the request also specifies a set of objectIds.
`objectIds`	String	`www.example.com,m.example.com,blog.example.com, example1.com, example2,com, example3.com, example4.com`	As an alternative to `allObjectIds`, specifies the set of unique IDs for the `edns` objectType you want to report on, formatted as a comma-delimited list.
`metrics`	String	`investigateLink,percentNxDomainResponses`	Specifies a comma-separated list of metrics to include in the report, otherwise all metrics if omitted. The set of available metrics depends on the type of report. URL-encode the entire value in the GET request.
