DNS Request Filtering System Logging Error Messages

The message format for system logs related to DNS request filtering differs slightly for the Next Gen Services MX-SPC3 services card versus early services cards. This topic describes the differences in the DNS request filtering related system log messages and provides a description of all fields in these messages.

System Logging for DNS Request Filtering Overview

Next Gen Services DNS request filtering system logging generates these events:

  1. DNS match events (DNS_SR_MATCH_EVENT)

    1. A single syslog is generated for each DNS match to the list of filtered domains.

  2. Per-term statistics (DNS_SR_CUSTOMER_STATS)

    1. Each term in the template represents a customer, enabling you to collect per-customer statistics.

    2. You can configure the interval in which you want to collect statistics in each template.

  3. You can report an event each time a DNS disallow-list file is added or updated (DNS_SR_FILE_UPDATE_NOTICE)

  4. You can collect per-PIC Summary report statistics (DNS_SR_REPORT_STATS)

    1. Statistics are generated every 5 minutes. This interval value is not configurable.

    2. These stats are generated per-PIC basis.

      Note:

      To enable these logs you must configure a syslog for each service-set for which you’ve configured dns-filtering.

      All system log messages for Next Gen Services are configured at the service-set level using the following statement:

      To collect DNS request filtering system log messages, include urlf in the local-category statement:

  5. You can collect per-client IP statistics (DNS_SR_CLIENT_IP_STATS)

    1. This statistics are generated per-profile.

    2. The interval for collecting these statistics is configurable per-profile.

DNS Match-Event Syslog Format

Note:

System system log messages for Next Gen Services DNS request filtering doesn’t include the FPC slot/PIC slot and UTC time.
