Bind query logging stops after a logrotate.

[Charlie Schluting]

FBSD 5.1:
Using Bind9.2.2, and I have query logging turned on:

logging {
   channel querylog { file /var/log/query.lo~g; print-time yes; };
   category queries { querylog; };
};

After a logrotate, it stops logging completely. The permissions are
correct, and all I have to do to make it start logging again is: rndc
reload.

Anyone heard of this? Any ideas?

TIA,

-Charlie

What do you mean by a logrotate?  Do you mean a run of the
newsyslog program?  Or are you using some other program?

You could use the built in log rotation in Bind. Change your log line to, for example:

 file /var/log/query.log print-time yes; versions 5 size 10m;

Yes, I meant after a run of newsyslog.

THANKS! That will do nicely.

query logging

[Mark]

I must be misunderstanding something. In the man for ndc, I read:

querylog
   Causes named to toggle the ``query  logging''  fea-
   ture,  which while on will result in a syslog(3) of
   each incoming query (uses the WINCH signal.)   Note
   that query logging consumes quite a lot of log file
   space.  This directive may also be given as qrylog

Odd, I used this, then did a ndc status, and it says: query logging is
ON. Except that I do not see my queries appear in /var/log/messages. Where
are they supposed to go?

Thanks.

 They go to your queries channel.
