Setup BIND 9.x stats

sopiaz57 · 07-23-2009, 03:29 PM

I have a pair of DNS servers on the network hosting public DNS zones, I would like to see statistics per domain name(zone) of how many requests are coming in.

If there anything built into Bind 9.x? I tried running rndc stats but only get this, the standard stats.
Thanks in advance

You need to add

Code:

zone-statistics yes;

in named.conf

Thanks, do you have a good utility that will parse the stats and create some reporting?

Doing a little search, I came across this one, that looks very simple. There are also plugins, for nagios,for cacti and mrtg.
