I used to say:

But in this case I'll say:
{ text: snipped }
If I cleaned this up appropriately and attempted to add some (all?) of
the counters (I'm mostly interested in the list of zones which is why
I started with that) would there be a chance of ISC adding this to
stock BIND9? Even better: would ISC take on the work of doing it? ;-)
Evan has merged this into master, and it will go out in 9.10, sometime
later this year. (We're also putting it into our new subscription
branch, which should be available for subscription customers in a few
weeks.)
Thanks Jan-Piet!!!

I know -- he's kept me busy looking and testing, and it looks very good.

I pleaded and begged for it to be in 9.9.3b3, but, oh, well. (No
worries: I'm grossly exaggerating.)
Thanks Jan-Piet!!!
Thank you all for accepting the idea and implementing it cleanly!
Looking very much forward to seeing this.

BIND9 statistics-server: JSON?
As a fan of BIND's statistics-server I was tempted to see if I could
reduce the size of the data (XML) named produces by adding an option to
produce JSON. The patch [1] (which is terribly quick and dirty) does that.
[1] https://gist.github.com/jpmens/4958763
Accessing the URI /json on named would produce something like this:
{
views: {
_default: [
{
name: 0.IN-ADDR.ARPA,
class: IN,
serial: 0
},
{
name: B.E.F.IP6.ARPA,
class: IN,
serial: 0
},
[...]
{
name: ww.mens.de,
class: IN,
serial: 201211565
}
],
_bind: [
{
name: authors.bind,
class: CH,
serial: 0
},
[...]
]
}
}
Which of course is trivial to parse, with say,
#!/usr/bin/env python
import sys, json urllib2
BINDURI = 'http://127.0.0.1:8053/json'
f = urllib2.urlopen(BINDURI)
# print f.headers
doc = json.loads(f.read())
views = doc['views']
for viewname, zonelist in views.iteritems():
print viewname
for zone in zonelist:
print \t%s %-40s %s % (zone['class'], zone['name'],
zone['serial'])
which in turn makes this:
_default
IN 0.IN-ADDR.ARPA 0
IN B.E.F.IP6.ARPA 0
IN ww.mens.de 201211565
[...]
_bind
CH authors.bind 0
[...]
I haven't yet conducted tests as to which is actually faster to
produce/transport/consume, but I _suspect_ it's JSON. :)
If I cleaned this up appropriately and attempted to add some (all?) of
the counters (I'm mostly interested in the list of zones which is why I
started with that) would there be a chance of ISC adding this to stock
BIND9? Even better: would ISC take on the work of doing it? ;-)
