NAME

       bind8_query2dlf - convert BIND8 querylogs to dlf

SYNOPSIS

       bind8_query2dlf

DESCRIPTION

       This script converts each line in a bind8 querylog to a dns dlf record.

       BIND generates these logs when something like

        logging {
            channel query_logging {
                file "/var/log/named_querylog"
                versions 3 size 100M;
                print-time yes;                 // timestamp log entries
             };

             category queries {
                 query_logging;
             };
        };

       is in bind's named.conf.  This will save up to three logfiles of maximum 100 megabytes in
       the directory /var/log.

       These logfiles look like:

        10-Apr-2000 00:01:20.307 XX /10.2.3.4/1.2.3.in-addr.arpa/SOA/IN
        10-Apr-2000 00:01:20.308 XX+/10.4.3.2/host.foo.com/A/IN

EXAMPLES

       To process a log as produced by bind8:

        $ bind8_query2dlf < dns-query

       bind8_query2dlf will be rarely used on its own, but is more likely called by
       lr_log2report:

        $ lr_log2report bind8_query < /var/log/dns-query
