However, this does not include detailed DNS analysis, but rather general categories of web traffic (e.g. social media, video streaming, etc.).<\/p>\n<p>You can analyze a client&#8217;s traffic and see which domains were visited, but this information is not as granular or comprehensive as in specialized DNS analysis tools.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Use of third-party tools or integrations:<\/strong>\n<p>If you still want to monitor DNS requests via the UDM Pro, you can use third-party integrations such as <strong>Unifi Poller<\/strong> in conjunction with an InfluxDB and Grafana setup to collect detailed network statistics. However, this requires advanced knowledge of network configuration and database management.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion<\/h3>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">UDM Pro alone does not provide comprehensive DNS statistics. To obtain a detailed analysis and monitoring of DNS requests, it is recommended to use additional tools such as <strong>Pi-hole<\/strong> or <strong>AdGuard Home<\/strong>. UDM Pro can be configured to forward queries to these DNS servers, providing a detailed overview and filtering options.<\/p>\n<div id=\"netgu-2928687035\" class=\"netgu-after-content netgu-entity-placement\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-6258556257245998\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-6258556257245998\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"4559785002\" \ndata-ad-format=\"auto\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Can the Unifi Dream Machine Pro show DNS query statistics?
