bind8_query2dlf - convert BIND8 querylogs to dlf

bind8_query2dlf

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

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
