Bind Monitoring

This script is part of a monitoring solution that allows to monitor several services and applications.

For more information about this monitoring solution please check out this post on my site.

Dependencies

Bind has to have the statistics enable to make it work, please add the following options in named.conf:

#~ cat named.conf
...
statistics-channels {
        inet 127.0.0.1 port 8653 allow { 127.0.0.1; };
};
...
#~

Also we need to enable the statistics in every zone that we want to get stats, please add these options on every zone definition:

#~ cat zones.conf
...
zone "example.net" in {
        type master;
        file "master/example.net";
        zone-statistics yes;
};
...
#~

Packages

• xmlstarlet

#~ sudo apt install ksh xmlstarlet
#~

Deploy

Default variables:

Note: these variables have to be saved in the config file (bindix.conf) in the same directory than the script.
