BIND logging in a separate node
Hello all,
I'm running BIND 9.5.0-P1 on a Solaris 10. My question is I think a combination
of BIND logging and the syslog in Solaris. Below is the logging as in the
named.conf
logging {
channel my_syslog {
syslog daemon;
severity info;
};
channel stats_file {
file "/var/bind/named.stats" versions 10 size 20k;
severity debug 3;
print-category yes;
print-time yes;
};
category default { my_syslog; };
category queries { stats_file; };
category notify { stats_file; };
category xfer-in { stats_file; };
category xfer-out { stats_file; };
What I'm trying to do is log /var/bind/named.stats in a separate node. So my
question is, can I specify the node IP address and the filename in the
named.conf where I wand to stat_file to write to?
If not another option is to use syslog for all the logging and then move the
syslog to a different node. However, I want only bind logging to be moved to a
separate node. I still want all the other system logging to go to
/var/adm/messages as usual on the same node. So can I can configure either
named.conf or syslog.conf or both so that I can move the bind logging to a
separate box?
Any ideas would be very help ful.
Thanks
Prabhat

For that use the syslog and configure your Solaris 10 syslogger to forward your logging to a different syslog server. You will have to configure your syslogger for this. Also in your named.conf's syslog channel, you can use the "syslog" destination clause to choose which syslog facility to log to (so you can then configure your syslogger appropriately.) Maybe someone on this list can share some Solaris syslog.conf examples here ... ___ bind-users mailing list bind-users@lists.isc.org https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users
Re: BIND logging in a separate node
Jeremy, Thanks for the response. Yes I need to change the file name to avoid confusion. Yes I can forward the syslog to a different node my making changes in the syslogger. But I'm not sure how to make such changes so that only named/bind related syslog will be forwarded and the rest will continue to log locally. --- On Tue, 3/3/09, Jeremy C.

RE: BIND logging in a separate node
Something like the following might work.
BIND:
...
channel my_syslog {
syslog local6;
severity info;
};
...
syslog.conf:
...
local6.* @remote-syslog-server // Forward all messages
with local6 facility to a remote syslog server
...
You don't have to use the local6 facility. Just choose some facility
that is not being used by any other process that logs to syslog.
