SYSLOG REPORT

Isaac_4 — Mon, 06 May 2002 20:58:17 GMT

HI:

I see in /var/adm/syslog the following error

May 6 13:55:04 server2 named[453]: NSTATS 1020711304 1020707704 A=166 PTR=91 ANY=1.

Someone see this before

Thank you!!

The first two numbers for each message are time. If you subtract the
second number from the first number, you'll find out how many seconds your
server has been running. (You'd think the name server could do that for
you.) The CPU entry tells you how much time your server has spent in user
mode (13.01 seconds) and system mode (3.26 seconds). Then it tells you the
same statistic for child processes. The NSTATS message lists the query
types your server has received and the counts for each. The XSTATS message
lists additional statistics......"

They are not errors, merely summary of DNS query types that has been processed. I do not know how to translate the meaning but I do see this also in my 10.20 box sometimes. You might want to check out patch PHNE_23277 (Bind patch) for 10.x system only. I think the patch allow you to filter out these messages from filling up the log file.
