BIND 9 Statistics for Cacti

[his_royal_evilness]

does anybody know how to get different stats from each zone?
all my zones have the same output now :S

[X-Frog]

just put this in your named.conf in the options:
zone-statistics yes;

restart bind, and here we go

I've been rewriting a perl script by Dobrica Pavlinusic (which used 'rndc stats\
') to output a indexed SNMP table.
With this came some serious thinking on how a MIB is written and how Cacti (v0.\
8.6c) should be setup to utilize this.

I can finaly release what I did (I'm waiting for confirmation on the subscripti\
on of the cacti user list so I can announce it there to).

I'm not perfectly happy about the actuall graph output. I'm not sure if that's \
how it should look, so take the XML template with a bucket of salt

Having some problems with your script, turbo... confused initially by the presence of multiple bind9-stats.* files in the tgz file... ended up just using the one in the directory listing at the URL.

When importing cacti_data_query_snmp_local_bind9_statistics.xml, I get dependency errors:

+ Unmet Dependency: (Data Input Method) Get SNMP Data (Indexed)
+ Unmet Dependency: (Data Input Field) Output Type ID
+ Unmet Dependency: (Data Input Field) Index Value
+ Unmet Dependency: (Data Input Field) Index Type
+ Unmet Dependency: (Data Input Field) SNMP Version (1, 2, or 3)
+ Unmet Dependency: (Data Input Field) SNMP Password (v3)
+ Unmet Dependency: (Data Input Field) SNMP Username (v3)
+ Unmet Dependency: (Data Input Field) SNMP Community
+ Unmet Dependency: (Data Input Field) SNMP IP Address

I tried both the xml file in the directory listing at the URL above, as well as the one in the .tgz file at the URL above (v1.1).

Can anyone tell me what the Global graph represents, is it a total number queries for you DNS server? Thanks everyone in advance

[cactus_jack]

Also, My recurrsion and refferal queries aren't showing up. Can anyone give me hint as to why?

Hey every1,

Im having a little trouble getting statistics from my BIND 9.2.4rc5 running on a Debian Testing server, i got rndc to work:

metrolinux:/etc/bind# rndc status
number of zones: 7
debug level: 0
xfers running: 0
xfers deferred: 0
soa queries in progress: 0
query logging is OFF
server is up and running

But when i try to get the stats i get this:

metrolinux:/etc/bind# rndc stats
rndc: 'stats' failed: permission denied


Here are the named.conf and rndc.conf extracts:

# Start of named.conf

options {
directory "/var/cache/bind";
zone-statistics yes;
statistics-file "/var/cache/bind/named.stats";
auth-nxdomain no; # conform to RFC1035
}

key "rndc-key" {
algorithm hmac-md5;
secret "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX";
};

controls {
inet 127.0.0.1 port 953
allow { 127.0.0.1; } keys { "rndc-key"; };
};
# End of named.conf

# Start of rndc.conf
key "rndc-key" {
algorithm hmac-md5;
secret "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX";
};

options {
default-key "rndc-key";
default-server 127.0.0.1;
default-port 953;
};
# End of rndc.conf

I have searched the web with google for a while, but to no avail, any ideas?

So does anyone know what's up with the bayour.com bind9 stats package?The .tgz file does not contain all the files that are mentioned in the README and the imports of the .xml files elicit "Unset Dependency" errors.

Hello,

Ok, I tried again to get the scripts working!
First I'm trying to get the local version to work. So I did everything according to the INSTALL file.

Now I added the datasource to a device and then I get this:
