SYNOPSIS
bind9_query2dlfDESCRIPTION
bind9_query2dlf expects BIND 9 query log files on stdin.If you have a
channel query_logging {
file "/var/log/named_querylog"
versions 3 size 100M;
print-time yes; // timestamp log entries
};
in your named.conf, the produced logfiles are supported. Optionally, you could add
print-category yes; // print category name
print-severity yes; // print severity level
to this channel. Query logs as produced by a patched BIND (see NOTES below) are supported too.
We also support Bind 9.3 log file which uses a new date format (15-Jul-2002) instead of the old-syslog one.
EXAMPLE
With print-time, print-category and print-severity set:
Feb 25 11:09:43.651 queries: info: client 10.0.0.3#1035: query: 3.example.com.nl IN A Feb 25 11:09:48.739 queries: info: client 10.0.0.3#1035: query: 3.example.com.nl IN A Feb 25 12:50:32.476 queries: info: client 10.0.0.3#1035: query: 21.example.com.co.uk IN A Feb 25 12:50:34.110 queries: info: client 10.0.0.3#1035: query: 22.example.com IN A Feb 25 12:50:34.525 lame-servers: info: lame server on '22.example.com' (in '23.example.com'?): 10.0.0.4#53 Feb 25 12:50:34.715 queries: info: client 10.0.0.3#1035: query: 24.example.com IN A Feb 26 07:30:08.211 queries: info: client 10.0.0.1#1050: query: 1.0.0.10.in-addr.arpa IN PTR Feb 26 12:26:55.455 queries: info: client 10.0.0.1#1051: query: 28.example.com.nl IN MX Feb 04 04:02:00.932 general: info: loading configuration from '/etc/336.example.com' Feb 18 04:02:01.023 security: warning: zone '337.example.com.nl' allows updates by IP address, which is insecure Feb 18 04:02:01.049 config: warning: option 'use-id-pool' is obsolete Feb 18 04:02:01.049 config: warning: option 'check-names' is not implemented Feb 18 04:02:01.049 config: warning: option 'statistics-interval' is not yet implemented Feb 18 04:02:01.049 network: info: no IPv6 interfaces found Feb 04 16:47:18.289 security: info: client 10.0.0.201#137: query denied Feb 20 07:26:53.731 general: info: running Feb 13 08:01:56.138 general: info: shutting down Feb 13 08:01:56.140 network: info: no longer listening on 10.0.0.3#53 Feb 14 08:02:13.983 general: info: refresh_callback: zone 384.example.com/IN: failure for 10.0.0.204#53: timed out
With only print-time set:
Aug 27 04:07:13.361 client 127.0.0.1#3123: query: foo.com IN ANY Aug 27 04:07:13.438 client 127.0.0.1#3123: query: fu.bar.nl IN AAAA Aug 27 04:07:13.443 client 127.0.0.1#3123: query: fu.bar.nl IN A
EXAMPLES
To process a log as produced by bind9:
$ bind9_query2dlf < dns-query
bind9_query2dlf will be rarely used on its own, but is more likely called by lr_log2report:
$ lr_log2report bind9_query < /var/log/dns-query
NOTES
Bind9 versions before 9.3 did not log wether the query was recursive, therefore the last dlf field (DLF_RESOLVER) is a '-'. However, applying this patch by Wytze van der Raay:
# patch bin/named/query.c to log recursive/non-recursive query indication
SRC=bin/named/query.c
if [ -f ${SRC}.org ]
then
echo "Patched ${SRC} already in place"
else
echo "Patch ${SRC} for recursive/non-recursive query indication"
cp -p ${SRC} ${SRC}.org
patch -p0 ${SRC} <<\!

A '+' indicates a recursive query, - indicates a non-recursive query, the lack of + or - indicates a non-patched pre-9.3 bind9. See Wytze's message of Fri, 28 Dec 2001 16:56:30 +0100 on [email protected] , archived at http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg00501.html .
This type of logfiles is recognised by the script.
BIND 9.3 or later does offer full support for this logging feature. In addition, it logs view, signer and EDNS information, all of which will be ignored by this version of the script.
In a private discussion on Thu, 18 Jul 2002 07:55:22 +0200, Wytze wrote:
This contains the "ISC-compatible" version of the patch for getting a recursive/non-recursive request logged. ISC decided there should be a space between the type and the recursion indicator in the logfile, so be it.
If you want to have your BIND 9.2.1 to log in the ISC-compatible 9.3 style, apply this patch to your BIND sources:

. This script understands both Wytze-style and ISC-style recursiveness indication.
THANKS
Wytze van der Raay, for supplying the BIND 9 query log patch.VERSION
