--- title: "show monitor" canonical: "https://docs.infoblox.com/space/nios86/35822228/show%20monitor" format: markdown --- The `show`` ``monitor` command displays current network monitoring data, when network monitoring for DNS is turned on. This command also provides information on the average latency of authoritative and non-authoritative replies to DNS queries. Latency is the time it takes for a packet to cross a network connection, from sender to receiver. > ⚠️ **Note** > ⚠️ > ⚠️ You must turn on network monitoring for DNS to view this data.
