Hi, We run around 50 knot servers around the world, with great success - thanks for the software! We are just a little curious about seemingly high CPU usage, and how best to interpret the results, if someone could advise? Specifically, we are seeing the majority of the cpu time in 'system' and not 'user', what would that suggest is happening perhaps? Any tuning help gratefully received! Our platform (sample) 24 Core CPU E5-2440 0 @ 2.40 64Gb RAM SSD knot-2.9.5, running on Centos 8.2 Currently receiving around 4k pps Server is authoritative for a 278 zones, the largest zone file being around 600Mb Output of top top - 20:50:38 up 6 days, 4:49, 2 users, load average: 13.47, 12.34, 11.83 Tasks: 321 total, 2 running, 318 sleeping, 0 stopped, 1 zombie %Cpu0 : 4.0 us, 34.1 sy, 0.0 ni, 60.3 id, 0.3 wa, 0.7 hi, 0.7 si, 0.0 st %Cpu1 : 4.3 us, 19.4 sy, 0.0 ni, 75.3 id, 0.0 wa, 0.3 hi, 0.7 si, 0.0 st %Cpu2 : 4.3 us, 33.8 sy, 0.0 ni, 60.9 id, 0.0 wa, 0.7 hi, 0.3 si, 0.0 st %Cpu3 : 5.0 us, 21.2 sy, 0.0 ni, 73.2 id, 0.0 wa, 0.3 hi, 0.3 si, 0.0 st %Cpu4 : 3.3 us, 34.9 sy, 0.0 ni, 61.5 id, 0.0 wa, 0.3 hi, 0.0 si, 0.0 st %Cpu5 : 3.0 us, 20.2 sy, 0.0 ni, 76.2 id, 0.0 wa, 0.3 hi, 0.3 si, 0.0 st %Cpu6 : 4.0 us, 35.2 sy, 0.0 ni, 60.4 id, 0.0 wa, 0.3 hi, 0.0 si, 0.0 st %Cpu7 : 5.0 us, 18.7 sy, 0.0 ni, 76.0 id, 0.0 wa, 0.3 hi, 0.0 si, 0.0 st %Cpu8 : 2.0 us, 35.0 sy, 0.0 ni, 62.3 id, 0.0 wa, 0.7 hi, 0.0 si, 0.0 st %Cpu9 : 2.0 us, 20.0 sy, 0.0 ni, 77.7 id, 0.0 wa, 0.3 hi, 0.0 si, 0.0 st %Cpu10 : 3.7 us, 34.4 sy, 0.0 ni, 61.2 id, 0.0 wa, 0.7 hi, 0.0 si, 0.0 st %Cpu11 : 3.3 us, 20.7 sy, 0.0 ni, 75.7 id, 0.0 wa, 0.3 hi, 0.0 si, 0.0 st %Cpu12 : 2.3 us, 34.6 sy, 0.0 ni, 62.1 id, 0.0 wa, 0.7 hi, 0.3 si, 0.0 st %Cpu13 : 3.3 us, 20.7 sy, 0.0 ni, 75.7 id, 0.0 wa, 0.3 hi, 0.0 si, 0.0 st %Cpu14 : 2.3 us, 33.6 sy, 0.0 ni, 59.7 id, 0.0 wa, 0.7 hi, 3.7 si, 0.0 st %Cpu15 : 3.3 us, 19.7 sy, 0.0 ni, 76.3 id, 0.0 wa, 0.3 hi, 0.3 si, 0.0 st %Cpu16 : 2.3 us, 34.0 sy, 0.0 ni, 58.7 id, 0.0 wa, 1.0 hi, 4.0 si, 0.0 st %Cpu17 : 2.3 us, 21.5 sy, 0.0 ni, 75.8 id, 0.0 wa, 0.3 hi, 0.0 si, 0.0 st %Cpu18 : 3.3 us, 34.8 sy, 0.0 ni, 57.2 id, 0.0 wa, 0.7 hi, 4.0 si, 0.0 st %Cpu19 : 5.0 us, 19.3 sy, 0.0 ni, 75.1 id, 0.0 wa, 0.3 hi, 0.3 si, 0.0 st %Cpu20 : 2.7 us, 35.3 sy, 0.0 ni, 60.0 id, 0.0 wa, 0.7 hi, 1.3 si, 0.0 st %Cpu21 : 1.7 us, 20.5 sy, 0.0 ni, 77.2 id, 0.0 wa, 0.3 hi, 0.3 si, 0.0 st %Cpu22 : 4.7 us, 32.4 sy, 0.0 ni, 58.5 id, 0.0 wa, 0.7 hi, 3.7 si, 0.0 st %Cpu23 : 2.3 us, 19.0 sy, 0.0 ni, 78.3 id, 0.0 wa, 0.3 hi, 0.0 si, 0.0 st MiB Mem : 64107.4 total, 46764.9 free, 11733.6 used, 5608.8 buff/cache MiB Swap: 32248.0 total, 32248.0 free, 0.0 used. 51670.0 avail Mem PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 213370 knot 20 0 34.0g 9.6g 41784 S 644.9 15.3 1319:12 /usr/sbin/knotd Thanks again for this great product.

Catalog zone configuration/zone auto configuration bootstrapping

by Frank Matthieß

Hello all, i stuck a little bit with the configuration of the new catalog zone feature in knot dns 3.0.0. The catalog zone replication is running quite well, but bootstrapping this feature to replicate the config for zones wont work for me. The zone name of the catalog zone is "zone.catalog". The primary name server uses this config: > # Configuration export (Knot DNS 3.0.0) > zone: > - domain: "zone.catalog." > file: "%s" > notify: [ "ns1.frank.REDACTED.DOM", "ns2.frank.REDACTED.DOM" ] > acl: [ "ns1.frank.REDACTED.DOM", "ns2.frank.REDACTED.DOM" ] > catalog-role: "interpret" > catalog-template: "catalog-zone-template" > > - domain: "dom-siew9tho.invalid." The zone has this content: > [zone.catalog.] zone.catalog. 60 NS nshp.frank.REDACTED.DOM. > [zone.catalog.] zone.catalog. 60 SOA nshp.frank.REDACTED.DOM. hostmaster.REDACTED.DOM. 1601540072 16384 2048 1048576 2560 > [zone.catalog.] id-ies3eidiev4ooquahgoh.zone.catalog. 0 PTR dom-siew9tho.invalid. > [zone.catalog.] version.zone.catalog. 0 TXT "2" Adding the following config to the primary works: > conf-begin > conf-set zone.domain "dom-siew9tho.invalid." > conf-commit > zone-begin dom-siew9tho.invalid. > zone-set dom-siew9tho.invalid. @ 60 SOA nshp.frank.REDACTED.DOM. hostmaster.REDACTED.DOM. 1 16384 2048 1048576 2560 > zone-set dom-siew9tho.invalid. @ 60 NS nshp.REDACTED.DOM. > zone-commit dom-siew9tho.invalid. Query one of the secondaries (ns1) gives me: > error: (no such zone found) [dom-siew9tho.invalid.] The config of ns1: > # Configuration export (Knot DNS 3.0.0) > template: > - id: "catalog-zone-template" > storage: "/var/lib/knot/zones" > file: "%s" > semantic-checks: "on" > dnssec-signing: "off" > serial-policy: "unixtime" > kasp-db: "/var/lib/knot/kasp-db" > > zone: > - domain: "zone.catalog." > file: "%s" > master: "nshp.frank.REDACTED.DOM" > acl: "nshp.frank.REDACTED.DOM" > catalog-role: "interpret" > catalog-template: "catalog-zone-template" I'm sure i miss one or more parts and/or i have a serious misunderstanding of the bootstrapping setup for this feature. - frank -- Frank Matthieß Mail: frank.matthiess(a)virtion.de phone: +49 521 44 81 58 17 GnuPG: 9F81 BD57 C898 6059 86AA 0E9B 6B23 DE93 01BB 63D1 virtion GmbH Südring 11, DE 33647 Bielefeld Geschäftsführer: Michael Kutzner Handelsregister HRB 40374, Amtsgericht Bielefeld, USt-IdNr.: DE278312983

copy key from one instance to another

by Ulrich Wisser

Hi! For a special project I need to sign the same zone on two servers with the same key. How can I create a key and import it in both instances? Or export an automatically generated key from one instance and import in the other instance? Kind regards from Stockholm /Ulrich

keymgr doesn't delete (remove) keys

by Chris

I'm currently on 2.6.5, and am moving everything to a new server I've created that's using the newest version. However, I've got a couple of zones I am trying to clean up before the move. In my effort to resign these zones, I'm retiring/removing keys associated with these zones prior to resigning them. But keymgr(8) isn't working as expected. eg; 12:25pm Fri, 21 # keymgr some.zone. set 09696 retire=20200821122736 remove=20200821122755 12:28pm Fri, 21 # keymgr some.zone. list iso ... 83ded1e7f4375657fe12ca666d4bbc6c33b7edea ksk=no zsk=yes tag=09696 algorithm=5 public-only=no created=2020-05-06T04:42:32 pre-active=2020-05-06T04:42:32 publish=2020-05-06T05:42:32 ready=1970-01-01T00:00:00 active=2020-05-06T18:42:32 retire-active=1970-01-01T00:00:00 retire=2020-08-21T12:27:36 post-active=1970-01-01T00:00:00 remove=2020-08-21T12:27:55 ... As you can see, it's 12:28 but the key was not removed. What am I (missing/misunderstanding? Thanks. --Chris

KSK and ZKS roll-overs on schedule

by Thomas

Hi, I have another requirement for a capability test. I need to perform ZSK and KSK rollovers on specific times. Something like KSK rollover after exactly 60 hours. Or ZSK rollover after exactly 24 hours and another one after another 24 hours. And so on... One additional requirement is that I need to pre-generate the keys. I was thinking of doing it with manual key management enabled and to use the keymgr tool for it. But I'm unsure about how to set the key attributes correctly an in what order. At what point I have to set the new key to active, and how can I remove the old key, and so on... I have never done it manually as I normally use Knots automatic key management. Is the "knotc zone-key-rollover" useful here, or is it only useful in an automatic key management set up? I really appreciate any help here! Thanks a lot, Thomas

re-sign zone

by Thomas

Hi, I have the requirement to re-sign my zones exactly every 24 hours. I'm not sure how to achieve this, because I'm not clear about the correlation of the following parameters: zsk-lifetime propagation-delay rrsig-lifetime rrsig-refresh rrsig-pre-refresh Can anybody give a hint what values I need to have an exact re-signing period of 24 hours? Thanks a lot, Thomas
