Logging SERVFAIL Errors

[Barry Finkel]

On BIND 9.7.1-P2 I have in named.conf:

channel query-errors-log {
file "/var/log/named.query-errors.log" versions 3 size 200k;
print-category yes;
print-severity yes;
print-time yes;
severity info;
};

category query-errors { query-errors-log; }; // no default_syslog

Is this correct for logging queries that produce SERVFAIL?

I ran this query on the DNS server:

dns# dig klyuniv.ernet.in @t1dns2.anl.gov

; <<>> DiG 9.7.1-P2 <<>> klyuniv.ernet.in @t1dns2.anl.gov
;; global options: +cmd
;; Got answer:

;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 0, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 0

dns#

and there is nothing logged in

/var/log/named.query-errors.log

Am I doing something wrong? Thanks.

You have to set a debug level of at least 1 to capture SERVFAIL errors
in your logfile.

I did

./rndc trace

and re-issued my query. There was nothing in the

/var/log/named.query-errors.log

log. I then did another "trace" command to increase the debug level to
2, and a subsequent query command put nothing in the log.

Because your logging clause says to filter at "info".
