Wizards
Guided, multi-step diagnostics. Each step explains what it checked and suggests evidence-backed next steps.
When to use a wizard vs a tool
Use a tool when you know exactly what you want to check (e.g. "dig the AAAA for this host"). Use a wizard when you have a symptom and want the portal to walk through the usual chain.
Wizard catalog
dns.resolve_fail— "Why isn't my domain resolving?". Checks delegation, SOA consistency, propagation, DNSSEC.zone.health— formalizes the zone-health tool as a guided report.axfr.audit— tries AXFR against every authoritative NS and flags any that succeed.dnssec.chain— end-to-end chain-of-trust walk with DS/DNSKEY validation per label.dmarc.tuning— pulls the SPF/DKIM/DMARC records and rates the policy.mail.delivery+mail.flow_validator— "why is my mail bouncing?" and "is this domain configured to send?".registrar.mismatch— compares registrar WHOIS NS set against the zone's actual NS records.ssl.deep_inspect— full TLS audit: chain, hostname, expiry, cipher set, cert key type, issuer, self-signed check.cloudflare.validator— detects Cloudflare in front of a domain and checks proxying/origin coverage.typosquat.sweep— permutation generation + resolution check.network.reachability— ping/trace/port sweep bundled into a single report.network.up_for_everyone— DNS + HTTP from multiple public resolvers to distinguish "broken for me" from "broken globally".ip.reputation— DNSBL check + ASN/prefix context.domain.bringup— checklist for a brand-new domain about to go live.infoblox.drift— compares Infoblox DHCP/IPAM records against live DNS.
How to read the output
Each step is one of ok / info / warn / fail. The badge color matches. Below the steps, the wizard ranks suggested next actions by priority (critical / recommended / suggested / info), each with a one-click deeplink to the relevant tool or admin page.
Gotchas
- DNS propagation fans out to 16 public resolvers. A wizard run that uses it will take 5-10 s — the "running..." state is normal.
- Wizard runs are recorded in
wizard_runs. You can see your recent ones under Admin → Audit.
