This release brings an new indexer response_time (funded by NIC.AT!), support for MaxMind DB (GeoIP2) and an option to set the DNS port.

Due to submodules in the repository please download this tarball:

sha256: a8e7ee0063f1ac34f686bdba773ec209a0a974ccdf0e032ba10163800ec86880

Packages are available at: https://dev.dns-oarc.net/packages/

The new indexer response_time can track queries and report the time it took to receive the response in buckets of microseconds or in logarithmic scales (see response_time_mode). It will also report timeouts, missing queries (received a response but have never seen the query), dropped queries (due to memory limitations) and internal errors.

Here is an example output of log10 mode:

<array name="response_time" dimensions="2" start_time="1478727151"
    stop_time="1478727180">
  <dimension number="1" type="All"/>
  <dimension number="2" type="ResponseTime"/>
  <data>
    <All val="ALL">
      <ResponseTime val="100000-1000000" count="77"/>
      <ResponseTime val="10000-100000" count="42"/>
      <ResponseTime val="1000-10000" count="3"/>
      <ResponseTime val="missing_queries" count="1"/>
    </All>
  </data>
</array>

New configuration options:

  • asn_indexer_backend: Control what backend to use for the ASN indexer
  • country_indexer_backend: Control what backend to use for the country indexer
  • maxminddb_asn: Specify database for ASN lookups using MaxMind DB
  • maxminddb_country: Specify database for country lookups using MaxMind DB
  • dns_port: Control the DNS port
  • response_time_mode: Set the output mode of the response time indexer
  • response_time_bucket_size: The size of bucket (microseconds)
  • Following options exists to control internal aspects of response_time indexer, see man-page for more information:
    • response_time_max_queries
    • response_time_full_mode
    • response_time_max_seconds
    • response_time_max_sec_mode

Fixes:

  • Add LGTM and fix alerts
  • Update pcap_layers with fixes for scan-build warnings
  • Fix port in debug output of DNS message, was showing server port on responses
