NAME

       bind9_query2dlf - convert BIND9 querylogs to dlf

SYNOPSIS

       bind9_query2dlf

DESCRIPTION

       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 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} <<!
	--- bin/named/query.c.org	Mon Sep 24 22:57:48 2001
	+++ bin/named/query.c	Tue Sep 25 09:55:21 2001

	+		      WANTRECURSION(client) ? "+" : "-");
	 }

	 void
	!
	fi

       will yield loglines like

	Nov 11 12:06:42.829 queries: info: client 10.0.0.1#3664:
	  query: 6.example.com.nl IN A+

       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 bind9-workers@isc.org , archived at
       http://www.mail-archive.com/bind9-workers@isc.org/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:

	--- bin/named/query.c.org	Thu Mar 28 06:10:09 2002
	+++ bin/named/query.c	Wed Jul 17 08:14:41 2002

	 void

       .  This script understands both Wytze-style and ISC-style recursiveness indication.

THANKS

       Wytze van der Raay, for supplying the BIND 9 query log patch.
