Thanks, Carsten, I've opened bug #4619 and indeed asked Hyperic to parse the XML output. I agree, it's much nicer than trying to parse the rndc.stats file! If anyone here has already written a BIND plugin for Hyperic, let me know--I'd love to have a copy and see if it'll work for us. John

Thanks, Evan. That's exactly what I wanted to know. I'm already running the statistics server, so I'd certainly prefer to leverage that rather than rely on a bunch of regexes to parse the statistics file. I'll let the folks at Hyperic know about the upcoming schema changes. John On
