Hi,
I am in the process to migrate from unbound to knot-resolver.
This is on FreeBSD 14-STABLE, knot-resolver 5.7.1, and on a very small instance serving a handful users, around 100 mails a day and such.
The resolver is up and running, but I still have some questions left I cannot answer myself after reading the documentation et al.
1) I managed to run 'kres-cache-gc -c /var/run/kresd' but I am unsure whether I do need the garbage collector at all?
I read that after filling up of '/var/run/kresd/data.mdb' that file would become reset to 0 bytes, correct?
FYI: After 3 days '/var/run/kresd/data.mdb' uses less than 1 MB currently.
2) Does knot-resolver automatically update 'root.hints' and 'root.keys', or do I have to install a script in crontab doing the updates instead?
FYI: I didn't unload the modules 'ta_signal_query' and 'ta_sentinel‘
3) I am still struggeling to understand, how to get access to the statistics produced by the module 'stats'?
FYI: If I do try to use knotc (I know, it's experimental), I'll get:
|dns> kresc /var/run/kresd/control/17158
|Warning! kresc is highly experimental, use at own risk.
|Please tell authors what features you expect from client utility.
|
FYI: There is no 'kresd>' prompt …
I tried to modify that socket's privileges but to no avail.
4) If that socket is the way to get hold on all statistics information, how can one name that socket file? Currently, it is just the PID of kresd.
Thanks in advance and regards,
Michael
