Nsd and unbound statistics

NSD
1

Hello,

running djbdns for many years I now take a look at nsd and unbound.
My first installations are simple and easy to configure. It simply works ...

But I'm missing some kind of graphical statistics. I searched in the listarchive but
found no helpfull pointers.

So what software do *you* run to generate something like
http://k.root-servers.org/index.html#stats
or
http://dnsgraph.sourceforge.net/example/

Thanks
Andreas

Hi Andreas,

For unbound stats take a look at http://www.unbound.net/documentation/howto_statistics.html

I’m sure something similar exists for NSD.

Cheers,

Gareth

Hello Gareth,

thanks for your reply. I always noticed the howto you mentioned.
But I did not found similar for NSD.

Also I'm looking for a more lightweight solution.
Cacti and Munin are full featured Monitoring Solutions.

Ideal would be a script, that takes the statistic lines
generated by nds and unbound and produce simple rrd files.

Sounds like something collectd could do, using the 'tail' and 'rrdtool' plugins. I've not done so myself, though.

It's pretty lightweight, I've used it on small embedded systems before. It can also collect info on one system and forward to another over a network, so you can also use it in agent-server style setups.
