Supported provider
Constellix DNS, in the same place as everything else.
Does DNSMentor support Constellix?
Yes. DNSMentor manages Constellix DNS through its API, showing its zones alongside the other 25 supported providers in a single estate view. Every Constellix change goes through the same 56 pre-flight checks, approval policy, independent verification and tamper-evident audit trail as every other provider.
Connecting Constellix
- Create the credential in Constellix Constellix control panel (https://manage.constellix.com) → the account menu at the top right → 'Edit my Info' → API keys. Keys belong to the user, not the account, so the user you generate them for needs the 'API' permission enabled and can see every domain that user can see. Create a dedicated user for DNSMentor rather than using your own.
- Add the connection in DNSMentor Go to Admin → Providers & API keys, choose Constellix, and paste the credential. DNSMentor stores it encrypted and strips it from every log and export.
- Sync the estate DNSMentor discovers every zone the Constellix account holds and imports every record in them. This is a read operation — nothing is written to any zone.
- Group by client and start working Assign the imported domains to client portfolios, and the estate view, health scoring, checks and audit trail apply from that point on.
What Constellix asks you for
The exact fields DNSMentor needs, and where in Constellix to create them. Every secret is encrypted at rest and stripped by name from logs, exports and the audit trail.
API Key not secret Constellix control panel (https://manage.constellix.com) → the account menu at the top right → 'Edit my Info' → API keys. Keys belong to the user, not the account, so the user you generate them for needs the 'API' permission enabled and can see every domain that user can see. Create a dedicated user for DNSMentor rather than using your own.
Secret Key secret Shown beside the API Key on the same 'Edit my Info' screen. The secret itself is never sent to Constellix: it signs the current time on each request, so this machine's clock must be accurate to within a few minutes of UTC or every call is rejected as though the secret were wrong. Regenerating the pair invalidates the old one and every integration using it.
The sharp edge in Constellix's API
Every provider API has one behaviour that catches integrations out. This is Constellix's, and DNSMentor's adapter is written around it — the sort of thing you would otherwise discover during a migration.
What you get on top of the Constellix console
One estate, not one provider
Constellix zones sit beside every other provider your clients came with, grouped by the client who pays for them and searchable in one place.
56 checks before apply
The Constellix console will accept a second SPF record or an MX pointing at an address without comment. DNSMentor will not.
Approval and audit
A second pair of eyes where policy requires it, and a hash-chained record of who changed what — neither of which a provider console offers.
Constellix questions
Can I manage Constellix DNS alongside my other providers?
Yes. DNSMentor connects Constellix through its API and shows its zones in the same estate view as every other provider you connect — 26 are supported in total. Your engineers work in one interface instead of switching between provider portals, and the same checks, approval policy and audit trail apply regardless of which provider a domain happens to be with.
What credentials does DNSMentor need for Constellix?
DNSMentor needs API Key, Secret Key for Constellix. Constellix control panel (https://manage.constellix.com) → the account menu at the top right → 'Edit my Info' → API keys. Keys belong to the user, not the account, so the user you generate them for needs the 'API' permission enabled and can see every domain that user can see. Create a dedicated user for DNSMentor rather than using your own.
Does DNSMentor move my zones away from Constellix?
No. Your zones stay hosted at Constellix and remain authoritative there. DNSMentor reads and writes through the Constellix API, so nothing about your resolution path changes, and if you stop using DNSMentor the zones carry on exactly as they are.
Does DNSMentor validate Constellix changes before applying them?
Yes. All 56 checks run against the zone as it would exist after the change, whichever provider hosts it. The change is then simulated, routed for approval if policy requires it, written through the Constellix API after re-reading live state, and independently verified in public DNS afterwards.
