BIND graph

I'm trying to make the BIND graph appear on the trends page.  I have the 
following coded in bb-hosts for the dns server:

192.168.210.11 dns1 # dns ftp TRENDS:*,bind

The DNS test does work.  I've tried variations of the TRENDS setting, 
but none seem to work.

Thanks.

The graph def references a bind.rrd file, but the default dns test just generates a tcp.dns.rrd file.  Haven't done this myself, but I think you need to use the dns=TYPE:lookup tests to get that data.

By default it looks itself up, but I changed it to a NS lookup and no rrd file.

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but I just looked at do_bind.c file in the latest snapshot and I know why bind.rrd isn't being generated:

int do_bind_rrd(char *hostname, char *testname, char *msg, time_t tstamp)
{
         errprintf("bind rrd not implemented\n");
         return -1;
}

Absolutely correct. The "bind" graphs are fed by the LARRD bind-larrd.pl
script, and since noone has complained until now, I was fairly sure it
wasn't being used by anyone.

The "dns" test in Hobbit just tracks the response time of your DNS
server, not the performance metrics that the bind-larrd.pl script
monitors.

Henrik

That appears pretty clear to me!  :)

That message isn't appearing in any of the files in /var/log/hobbit.

Thanks, Tom.

Definitely not a complaint.  I just figured that I would take a look at it to see what it graphed.  It was only a curiousity, nothing that I really needed.

That doesn't mean that noone *wants* to use it ....

We would like to be able to graph the bind performance stats, but don't want 
larrd ...

I may just do an extension script for use with ncv (and allow the hobbit user 
to trigger a stats dump via a separate dns key, or via sudo).

If you do write a script to collect the data, please share it. I seem to
recall now that one reason I didn't implement the bind-larrd data was
that it was for an older version of BIND, and the current statistics
reports were very different.

These scripts work fine (BIND 8, 9)
If you want i have also the larrd script to graph DNS query rate,
