Hi
I'm trying to understand the column "drops" in the "showServers()"-function:
> showServers()
# Name Address State Qps
Qlim Ord Wt Queries Drops Drate Lat Outstanding Pools
0 backend01 192.168.1.1:53 up 76.7
0 1 1 5121235 14926 0.0 30.7 6 primary
1 backend02 192.168.1.2:53 up 49.8
0 1 1 5163504 15051 0.0 34.5 6 primary
In the case above, I see 14926 drops from backend01. According the
documentation, the backend server discards these requests. Is there a
way in dnsdist, to see which queries where dropped? What can cause a
backend server to drop requests? For example timeouts while doing name
resolution? Does "drops" mean that dnsdist has not received a response
back from the backendserver within a certain time (e.g. > setUDPTimeout)?
Any hints for this?
Thanks a lot.
Kind regards,
Tom
