Thanks for the information. But the issue here is, I have zone files looped within a single folder, for each domain. Say for example.

I would like to know the particular zone file from which the query is extracting the information from. I have added your log clause in my bind. Thanks for your help. I doubt that it's actually possible, and standard logging would not give you that level of detail. BIND loads the zone files into memory on startup so the files themselves are meaningless once it's started, it's just one complete zone.

Enabling debug mode in BIND might give you additional levels of detail, but it's going to cause a huge amount of logging to be generated which will inturn impact the performance of the DNS server.

BIND 9 uses a single basic logging format across the logging categories. This allows log data to be parsed reliably, and further parsing can be configured as required for each individual category. Therefore, parsing of BIND 9 logs can be implemented in these three steps:. BIND 9 should be configured as shown in Logging to file above.

The parsing here is very similar to the previous example, but without Syslog header parsing. Different to File Integrity Monitoring which provides monitoring based on checking for changes to the cryptographic checksums, DNS audit logging provides some additional details. Apply the following rules to watch BIND 9 configuration files.
