To be precise, there have been substantial changes in (IIRC) 9.5.1 from 9.5.0, so it's actually not between 9.5 and 9.6. Note that the XML format is still considered "experimental", and backward incompatible changes may still happen. However, we understand such changes are very inconvenient even if it's still "experimental", and we'll try to keep future changes in a backward compatible manner as much as possible. > Is there an option or configuration parameter that allows to control the > XML format? No, but you can at least check the statistics version to see if it's compatible for your parser. The current version is 2.0, and, in general, changes in the same major version (currently "2") should be backward compatible. > There are 2 views found in the XML file named "_default" and "bind". > Is there a view - or rather one of these views - that is included in > each XML statistics result that contains the total of the counter across > all views? > Or is it necessary to parse across all views and calculate the sum? The latter. If a statistics counter is provided per-view basis, you need to sum up the counters of all views to get the total. --- JINMEI, Tatuya Internet Systems Consortium, Inc. _______________________________________________ bind-users mailing list bind-users@lists.isc.org https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users
