pdns-protobuf-logger

pdns-protobuf-logger is a powerDNS(recursor, authoritative, dnsdist) reciever that logs DNS protobuf messages to rotating compressed jsonl log files.

Features

• Detailed logging of DNS queries and responses
• Passive logging focusing on response data.
• Authoritative logging that logs the iterative response server (must be set to root hints)
• Query Response logging that provides the full query and the ip address of the client.
• Automatic log rotation and compression.

Usage

Modify the config.json to suit your needs and run the application.

{ "log_type": "detailed", "log_dir": "./logs", "max_lines": 1000000, "rotation_time_seconds": 6000, "port": ":44353" }

There are 4 log types that can be set in the configuration file:

• detailed
• passive
• authoritative
• query_response

go run cmd/pdnslogger.go -config config.json

Log files are rotated per the configuration file and are compressed using gzip and moved into the archive directory.
