You have to look for traffic towards the sinkhole IP in your traffic log, if it's configured as an IP outside the PC LAN.

@SOC_CSG  You can create filter the traffic log for the DNS queries directed towards the Sinkhole address. You may create a report using traffic logs as well :

HI ,

I think that you should configure fake ip address on sinkhole ipv4 field. That fake ip addressin not used inside of the network.

Then you need to have security rule that block all access to fake ip address .
