So this monitor does a DNS lookup, ergo you need to put in the name to lookup and what the answer SHOULD be.

 

For example, you could put www.google.co.uk. and the answer would be 173.194.41.152

 

For DNS you may want to have a number of different monitors which check different names, just in case there is an issue with a specific DNS zone.
