Logging in DNS
The name server can be instructed to enable this feature by specifying the logging
statement in the named.conf file.
Example 5-2
shows a statement in the named.conf file.
In this example, two channels have been defined:
•
my_ems instructs the name server to send logging data to the Event Management
System (EMS).
•
my_file instructs the name server to send logging data to the file mylog.log.
Similarly, two categories have been defined:
