Re: [knot-dns-users] Query logging

While debugging may be handy, we actually need to log all DNS queries to domains for statistical reporting purposes. If not to syslog, at least to a flat file we can parse for inserting into a database. I can use snmp to see bandwidth on the server interface, but we have no idea even about queries per second the server is handling let alone which domains are getting hit the most. For us, more data is better than less.

We are having an internal discussion that it might be better to just kill this category. I have one question though, do you feel it's valuable to log all the queries as opposed to using a network dump tool? E.g. I see this option merely as a useful tool to check if the query was parsed correctly, but not as a general debugging tool since it can consume quite a lot of resources.

Any feedback on what I might be doing wrong? Thanks!

I’ve enabled all existing logging for the “answer” category and do not see any. But maybe it is unsupported in version 1.1.0? log { syslog { answering all; } } Thanks, Jonathan _______________________________________________ knot-dns-users mailing list knot-dns-users(a)lists.nic.cz https://lists.nic.cz/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/knot-dns-users
