- It seems likely that Cloudflare's standard tools cannot directly identify unused DNS records over 12 months due to data retention limits.
- Research suggests using Cloudflare's DNS analytics for recent data (up to 62 days for Enterprise) and Logpush for longer-term logging.
- The evidence leans toward needing external log storage via Logpush for comprehensive 12-month analysis, if not already set up.
Understanding Your Needs
