Domain Monitoring Dashboard API to List Status, Risk, and Ownership

A domain monitor checks a sending domain repeatedly so changes to SPF, DKIM, DMARC and MX records do not go unnoticed. A dashboard brings the latest findings and scheduled checks together across your account.

For a quick check, enter your domain in the domain monitor tool. For ongoing checks, use MailSlurp domain monitoring. This guide covers the API list view for teams building their own dashboard.

The getDomainMonitors operation gives you one list across your account. Use it to find the domains that need attention, then inspect the individual monitor's results before changing DNS. Email-domain health and domain-registration expiry are different checks; the examples here concern email configuration and deliverability.

What a good monitor list should tell you at a glance

A strong dashboard list should answer:

• Is this domain healthy, degraded, or critical?
• When did it last run?
• When is it scheduled to run next?
• Is monitoring active or paused?

When those signals are in one place, incident triage gets faster and routine reviews become easier.

The minimum fields to make the list useful

If you're implementing a dashboard, you don't need every possible attribute. You need the ones that drive action:

• domain name (and environment if applicable)
• current status (healthy/degraded/failed)
• last run time and next scheduled run time
• scheduling enabled/paused
• a compact "top finding" or reason string

Those fields let people scan the list, pick the next action, and click into detail only when necessary.

Why this is more than just "listing records"

In practice, this endpoint powers your operations layer:

• morning deliverability checks
• change-window verification
• campaign-readiness checks
• leadership snapshots for risk posture

If your team owns deliverability outcomes, this is the screen everyone ends up using.

Endpoint

GET /domain-monitor/monitors

cURL example

curl -sS "https://api.mailslurp.com/domain-monitor/monitors" \
  -H "x-api-key: $API_KEY"

A smart filtering strategy

For a cleaner daily workflow, use:

1. Status filters (CRITICAL and FAILED first)
2. Schedule state filter (find paused monitors)
3. Search by domain or owner naming convention

Make it scannable

Teams don't struggle because they lack monitoring data. They struggle because the data isn't easy to act on.

This endpoint gives you the backbone for a domain monitoring dashboard that stays useful as your domain footprint grows.
