Hello, I try to use an other file for bind9 logs to keep syslog small. Based on this https://wiki.debian.org/Bind9#File_.2Fetc.2Fbind.2Fnamed.conf.log and http://www.zytrax.com/books/dns/ch7/logging.html I add the following to the config:
/etc/bind/named.conf ... include "/etc/bind/named.conf.log" /etc/bind/named.conf.log logging { channel simple_file { file "/var/log/bind/bind.log" versions 3 size 5m; severity dynamic; print-time yes; print-severity yes; print-category yes; }; category client { simple_file; }; category config { simple_file; }; category database { simple_file; }; category default { simple_file; }; category delegation-only { simple_file; }; category dispatch { simple_file; }; category dnssec { simple_file; }; category general { simple_file; }; category lame-servers { simple_file; }; category network { simple_file; }; category notify { simple_file; }; category queries { simple_file; }; category resolver { simple_file; }; category rpz { simple_file; }; category rate-limit { simple_file; }; category security { simple_file; }; category unmatched { simple_file; }; category update { simple_file; }; category update-security { simple_file; }; category xfer-in { simple_file; }; category xfer-out { simple_file; }; }; partly still loged to syslog like: (systemd are ok, but no named I think) Mar 10 11:24:40 pi systemd[1]: Stopping BIND Domain Name Server... Mar 10 11:24:41 pi systemd[1]: Stopped BIND Domain Name Server. Mar 10 11:24:47 pi systemd[1]: Starting BIND Domain Name Server... Mar 10 11:24:47 pi systemd[1]: Started BIND Domain Name Server.
