+= DNS tracking
+You can configure graphical representation of Domain Name System (DNS) tracking of network flows in the *Overview* view. Using DNS tracking with extended Berkeley Packet Filter (eBPF) tracepoint hooks can serve various purposes:
+
+* Network Monitoring: Gain insights into DNS queries and responses, helping network administrators identify unusual patterns, potential bottlenecks, or performance issues.
+
+* Security Analysis: Detect suspicious DNS activities, such as domain name generation algorithms (DGA) used by malware, or identify unauthorized DNS resolutions that might indicate a security breach.
+
+* Troubleshooting: Debug DNS-related issues by tracing DNS resolution steps, tracking latency, and identifying misconfigurations.
+
+When DNS tracking is enabled, you can see the following metrics represented in a chart in the *Overview*. See the _Additional Resources_ in this section for more information about enabling and working with this view.
+
+* Top 5 average DNS latencies
+* Top 5 DNS response code
+* Top 5 DNS response code stacked with total
+
+This feature is supported for IPv4 and IPv6 UDP protocol.

+= Working with DNS tracking 
+Using DNS tracking, you can monitor your network, conduct security analysis, and troubleshoot DNS issues. You can track DNS by editing the `FlowCollector` to the specifications in the following YAML example.
++
+[IMPORTANT]
+====
+CPU and memory usage increases are observed in the eBPF agent when this feature is enabled.
+====
+.Procedure
+. In the web console, navigate to *Operators* -> *Installed Operators*.
+. Under the *Provided APIs* heading for the *NetObserv Operator*, select *Flow Collector*. 
+. Select *cluster* then select the *YAML* tab.
+. Configure the `FlowCollector` custom resource. A sample configuration is as follows:

+<1> You can set the `spec.agent.ebpf.features` parameter list to enable DNS tracking of each network flow in the web console.
+<2> Note that the `spec.agent.ebpf.privileged` specification value must be `true` for packet drop tracking to be enabled.
+
+. When you refresh the *Network Traffic* page, there are new DNS representations you can choose to view in the *Overview* and *Traffic Flow* views and new filters you can apply.
+.. Select new DNS choices in *Manage panels* to display graphical visualizations and DNS metrics in the *Overview*.
+.. Select new choices in *Manage columns* to add DNS columns to the *Traffic Flows* view.
+.. Filter on specific DNS metrics, such as *DNS Id*, *DNS Latency* and *DNS Response Code*, and see more information from the side panel.
