bind9 log to an other file (not syslog)
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)

oder stuff is loged to "new" logfile, like:

serial 1
10-Mar-2016 11:24:47.641 general: info: zone 255.in-addr.arpa/IN: loaded
serial 1
What can I do to that bind9 is longing completely to "custom" log?
