Dear Knot Resolver users, Knot Resolver 6.0.16 (early-access) has been released! Improvements: - reduce validation strictness for domain names (#934, !1727) - manager: force a configuration reload via management HTTP API 'api/reload/force' (#939, !1748) - kresctl: reload: added '--force' flag - /fallback: add this feature/module (!1733) - systemd: do not force-fail knot-resolver.service on OOM (!1724) In basically all cases the OOM killer will kill a kresd process and supervisord will just restart it, and everything will keep working. Bugfixes: - /options/query-case-randomization: respect this even on TCP issues (!1732) - prometheus metrics: make the latency histogram cumulative (!1731, GH#117) - fix file permission checks when running as root (!1741) - /network/address-renumbering: fix conversion to Lua configuration (!1739) - manager: avoid uncommon bugs when starting/quitting policy-loader (!1742) Full changelog: https://gitlab.nic.cz/knot/knot-resolver/raw/v6.0.16/NEWS Sources: https://secure.nic.cz/files/knot-resolver/knot-resolver-6.0.16.tar.xz GPG signature: https://secure.nic.cz/files/knot-resolver/knot-resolver-6.0.16.tar.xz.asc Documentation: https://www.knot-resolver.cz/documentation/v6.0.16/ -- Ales Mrazek PGP: 3057 EE9A 448F 362D 7420 5A77 9AB1 20DA 0A76 F6DE

Knot-resolver 6: collecting stats about blocked domains requests

by Stephane Paillet

Hello, I'm doing tests of filtering DNS with RPZ lists. Now, I would like to collect stats and metrics about blocked requests (blocked domains, sources IP, count of blocked requests...). In journalctl I have logs like this : "[rules ] => local data applied, user: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, name: blocked-domain.tld." Main infos I want to collect exist. Is there a way to do this with Prometheus format metrics + Grafana ? I didn't really find anything in documentation. Thank you so much if you have a tip to help me.

Knot Resolver 6 - replacing part of DNS tree

by jirka＠masek.pro

Hello, I was using Knot resolver 5 with configuration where I was replacing some parts of DNS tree (https://knot-resolver.readthedocs.io/en/latest/modules-policy.html#replacin…). Since I updated to Knot Resolver 6 and rewrite configuration to YAML using forward directive (https://www.knot-resolver.cz/documentation/latest/config-forward.html#forwa…) it seems that this configuration is not working as planned. After short time Knot Resolver started responding to replaced part of tree as NXDOMAIN. Is this behavior intended, or is it some unintended bug? Configuration for v6 was: forward: # Internal Domains - subtree: - internal.corp - 10.in-addr.arpa servers: - 10.3.0.102 - 10.3.0.103 options: authoritative: false dnssec: false I've tried to find if I do have something misconfigured, but without any luck. I have only a theory - in docs, it states like this: "Forwarding configuration instructs resolver to forward cache-miss queries from clients to manually specified DNS resolvers". Can the real reason of malfunction be, that Knot resolver 6 uses information from cache BEFORE it even tries to forward the query? Since I am not sure how Knot resolver handles these rules internally, it is only theory. Is there any correct way to replicate behavior from Knot Resolver 5? My config in v5 was: internalDomains = policy.todnames({ '10.in-addr.arpa', 'mydomain.corp' }) policy.add(policy.suffix(policy.FLAGS({'NO_CACHE'}), internalDomains)) policy.add(policy.suffix(policy.STUB({ '10.3.0.102', '10.3.0.103' }), internalDomains)) Regards, Jiri Masek

Problem with tmpfs ???

by Ulrich Wisser

Hi, I run my knot-resolver on a raspberry pi with pxe boot and the root file system on nfs. I realize that this is not recommended operations. Therefore I try to run my cache on an tmpfs file system. > tmpfs on /var/cache/knot-resolver type tmpfs (rw,relatime,size=102400k) But now my knot-resolver refuses to start Oct 2 20:14:39 pi-hole1 systemd[1]: Starting Knot Resolver daemon... Oct 2 20:14:40 pi-hole1 kresd[1052]: [system] error while loading config: /etc/knot-resolver/kresd.conf:69: can't open cache path '/var/cache/knot-resolver'; working directory '/var/lib/knot-resolver'; No space left on device (workdir '/var/lib/knot-resolver') Oct 2 20:14:40 pi-hole1 systemd[1]: kresd(a)1.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE Oct 2 20:14:40 pi-hole1 systemd[1]: kresd(a)1.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'. Oct 2 20:14:40 pi-hole1 systemd[1]: Failed to start Knot Resolver daemon. Besides the fact that this message makes no sense (why wouldn't the cache be opened in /var/cache when /var/lib is full?), the cache gets actually opened and a database created. The kres-cache-gc process runs without problems. The /var/lib/knot-resolver directory exists and is writeable. I have tried to put it on tmpfs too, no luck. What solved the problem was root@pi-hole1:~# umount /var/cache/knot-resolver root@pi-hole1:~# systemctl start kresd@1 But now the cache is on nfs. That seems risky. I think this is the relevant part of the configuration -- Cache size workdir = '/var/cache/knot-resolver' cache.open(100 * MB, 'lmdb:///var/cache/knot-resolver') But it comes with a distro pre-config of -- Set cache location rawset(cache, 'current_storage', 'lmdb:///var/cache/knot-resolver') Which by the way makes it very hard to change cache location. Not to mention the hard coded location in the systemd script for kres-cache-gc. What do I do wrong? /Ulrich
