I collect statistics data via the http interface and parse the XML file.
There are some differences of the layout of the XML result between
Bind9.5 and Bind9.6.
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.
