[dns-operations] Monitoring DNS BIND with SNMP ?

[Alejandro Flores]

mmm i would suggest to use rndc stats executed as extend snmp or a more
complex solution as mentioned on this url
https://computingforgeeks.com/how-to-monitor-bind-dns-server-with-prometheus-and-grafana/


personally i prefer the snmp extended.
just modify the */etc/snmp/snmpd.conf*

add a line like

extend snmpd_status /bin/bash /root/myscript.sh

restart snmpd

snmpwalk -v 2c -c public -O e 127.0.0.1 NET-SNMP-EXTEND-MIB::nsExtendObjects


replace /root/myscript.sh with the command to get the stat you want  " rndc
stats" with awk or sed to filter the number you want.

Regards!
