# netdata python.d.plugin configuration for bind_rndc # # This file is in YaML format. Generally the format is: # # name: value # # There are 2 sections: # - global variables # - one or more JOBS # # JOBS allow you to collect values from multiple sources. # Each source will have its own set of charts. # # JOB parameters have to be indented (using spaces only, example below). # ---------------------------------------------------------------------- # Global Variables # These variables set the defaults for all JOBs, however each JOB # may define its own, overriding the defaults. # update_every sets the default data collection frequency. # If unset, the python.d.plugin default is used. # update_every: 1 # priority controls the order of charts at the netdata dashboard. # Lower numbers move the charts towards the top of the page. # If unset, the default for python.d.plugin is used. # priority: 60000 # retries sets the number of retries to be made in case of failures. # If unset, the default for python.d.plugin is used. # Attempts to restore the service are made once every update_every # and only if the module has collected values in the past. # retries: 5 # ---------------------------------------------------------------------- # JOBS (data collection sources) # # The default JOBS share the same *name*. JOBS with the same name # are mutually exclusive. Only one of them will be allowed running at # any time. This allows autodetection to try several alternatives and # pick the one that works. # # Any number of jobs is supported. # # All python.d.plugin JOBS (for all its modules) support a set of # predefined parameters. These are: # # job_name: # name: myname # the JOB's name as it will appear at the # # dashboard (by default is the job_name) # # JOBs sharing a name are mutually exclusive # update_every: 1 # the JOB's data collection frequency # priority: 60000 # the JOB's order on the dashboard # retries: 5 # the JOB's number of restoration attempts # # Additionally to the above, bind_rndc also supports the following: # # named_stats_path: 'path to named.stats' # Default: '/var/log/bind/named.stats' #------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ # IMPORTANT Information # # BIND APPEND logs at EVERY RUN. Its NOT RECOMMENDED to set update_every below 30 sec. # STRONGLY RECOMMENDED to create a bind-rndc conf file for logrotate # # To set up your BIND to dump stats do the following: # # 1. add to 'named.conf.options' options {}: # statistics-file "/var/log/bind/named.stats"; # # 2. Create bind/ directory in /var/log # cd /var/log/ && mkdir bind # # 3. Change owner of directory to 'bind' user # chown bind bind/ # # 4. RELOAD (NOT restart) BIND # systemctl reload bind9.serice # # 5. Run as a root 'rndc stats' to dump (BIND will create named.stats in new directory) # # # To ALLOW NETDATA TO RUN 'rndc stats' change '/etc/bind/rndc.key' group to netdata # chown :netdata rndc.key # # The last BUT NOT least is to create bind-rndc.conf in logrotate.d/ # The working one # /var/log/bind/named.stats { # # daily # rotate 4 # compress # delaycompress # create 0644 bind bind # missingok # postrotate # rndc reload > /dev/null # endscript # } # # To test your logrotate conf file run as root: # # logrotate /etc/logrotate.d/bind-rndc -d (debug dry-run mode) # ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ # AUTO-DETECTION JOBS # only one of them will run (they have the same name) # #local: # named_stats_path: '/var/log/bind/named.stats'
