The DNS Statistics service uses BIND statistics to provide insights into the health of the views and zones configured on a DNS/DHCP Server. You can use this information to analyze DNS configuration and processing information to identify any anomalies or misconfiguration in your DNS environment.
When enabled, DNS statistics information is collected by the DNS/DHCP Server based on the
configured parameters and sent to a configured destination. You can choose to send the
information to an HTTP endpoint, Splunk server, Kafka cluster, or Elasticsearch
server.
Attention:
- You can only enable this service on DNS/DHCP Server v9.4.0 or greater.
- Output to Kafka clusters and Elasticsearch servers can only be configured on DNS/DHCP Server v9.5.0.
- DNS Statistics service listens on port 8053 locally.
