NTP Time Server availability
Most of organizations use a time server to ensure accurate time
settings. The NTP protocol is the protocol used to synchronize times
between workstations/servers, and external time sources. GFI
Network Server Monitor uses NTP to check the availability of internal
and external time sources.

The NTP function requires NO parameters.
DNS server check
The DNS server check can read a specific ‘record’ type on a DNS
server and then compare it to a specified (expected result) value. In
addition, you can also specify how this check will interpret the result
after comparing the value returned by the DNS server to the
parameter specified in the ‘Record values’ field.
For example, this check can read the ‘A record’ (address record) from
the DNS server and verify if it includes the IP address specified in the
expected result field (i.e., ‘Record values’ field).
