Hello, Are you sure that the error corresponds to this configuration? I get "duplicate identifier" instead, because you cannot redefine a section (default template). Try this one: server: listen: 100.88.99.132 nsid: knot-2.2.1-dnsproxy-0.1.0 log: - target: syslog any: info remote: - id: authcore address: 127.0.0.1@53535 mod-dnsproxy: - id: sdt remote: authcore mod-dnstap: - id: capture_all sink: /tmp/dnstap.tap template: - id: default global-module: mod-dnsproxy/sdt global-module: mod-dnstap/capture_all Daniel On 08/31/2016 09:23 PM, Lowell Mower wrote: Hello: I've compiled knot 2.2.1 and configured with the --enable-dnstap flag but continue to get errors when starting knot and configuring it to use dnstap to write to a file see below: * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * ./configure: knot 2.2.1 Target: linux-gnu x86_64 Compiler: gcc -std=gnu99 CFLAGS: -g -O2 -Wall -Werror=format-security -Werror=implicit -fpredictive-commoning LIBS: -lcap-ng -ldl -lpthread -lm LibURCU: -lurcu GnuTLS: -lgnutls -lnettle -I/usr/include/p11-kit-1 Jansson: -ljansson Libedit: -ledit -I/usr/include/editline LMDB: embedded Sanitizer: LibFuzzer: no Prefix: /usr/local Run dir: ${prefix}/var/run/knot Storage dir: ${prefix}/var/lib/knot Config dir: ${prefix}/etc/knot Configuration DB mapsize: 500 MiB Timers DB mapsize: 100 MiB Knot DNS libraries: yes Knot DNS daemon: yes Knot DNS utils: yes Knot DNS documentation: yes Use SO_REUSEPORT: yes Fast zone parser: no Utilities with IDN: no Systemd integration: no Dnstap support: yes Code coverage: no Bash completions: no PKCS 11 support: no Continue with 'make' command * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * /etc/knot.conf server: listen: 100.88.99.132 nsid: knot-2.2.1-dnsproxy-0.1.0 log: - target: syslog any: info remote: - id: authcore address: 127.0.0.1@53535 mod-dnsproxy: - id: sdt remote: authcore template: - id: default global-module: mod-dnsproxy/sdt mod-dnstap: - id: capture_all sink: /tmp/dnstap.tap template: - id: default global-module: mod-dnstap/capture_all * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * knotc -c /etc/knot.conf reload error: config, file '/etc/knot.conf', line 21, item 'mod-dnstap', value '' (invalid item) error: failed to load configuration file '/etc/knot.conf' (invalid item) * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * I've tried various configurations and have been using: https://www.knot-dns.cz/docs/2.x/html/configuration.html#dnstap- dnstap-enabled-query-logging as a guide.

I had tried that configuration but for sanity's sake, tried it again and ran: $ knotc -c /etc/knot.conf reload but continue to receive the error: error: config, file '/etc/knot.conf', line 17, item 'mod-dnstap', value '' (invalid item) critical: failed to load configuration file '/etc/knot.conf' (invalid item) Noting also, the line the error points to is the line where the dnstap module is being declared. Below is the config file:
