How to enable named bind DNS full logging

Question

I am trying to find the perfect logging clause in named conf that would help me enable full-level logs for named service  Can someone give an example here  My current clause is given below  but this generates very minimal logs    logging        channel querylog               file   var log querylog                severity debug 10               print-category yes               print-time yes               print-severity yes                       category queries   querylog

Run command rndc querylog on or add querylog yes  to options    section in named conf to activate that channel   Also make sure you   re checking correct directory if your bind is chrooted

I usually expand each log out into it s own channel and then to a separate log file  certainly makes things easier when you are trying to debug specific issues  So my logging section looks like the following   logging       channel default file           file   var log named default log  versions 3 size 5m          severity dynamic          print-time yes             channel general file           file   var log named general log  versions 3 size 5m          severity dynamic          print-time yes             channel database file           file   var log named database log  versions 3 size 5m          severity dynamic          print-time yes             channel security file           file   var log named security log  versions 3 size 5m          severity dynamic          print-time yes             channel config file           file   var log named config log  versions 3 size 5m          severity dynamic          print-time yes             channel resolver file           file   var log named resolver log  versions 3 size 5m          severity dynamic          print-time yes             channel xfer-in file           file   var log named xfer-in log  versions 3 size 5m          severity dynamic          print-time yes             channel xfer-out file           file   var log named xfer-out log  versions 3 size 5m          severity dynamic          print-time yes             channel notify file           file   var log named notify log  versions 3 size 5m          severity dynamic          print-time yes             channel client file           file   var log named client log  versions 3 size 5m          severity dynamic          print-time yes             channel unmatched file           file   var log named unmatched log  versions 3 size 5m          severity dynamic          print-time yes             channel queries file           file   var log named queries log  versions 3 size 5m          severity dynamic          print-time yes             channel network file           file   var log named network log  versions 3 size 5m          severity dynamic          print-time yes             channel update file           file   var log named update log  versions 3 size 5m          severity dynamic          print-time yes             channel dispatch file           file   var log named dispatch log  versions 3 size 5m          severity dynamic          print-time yes             channel dnssec file           file   var log named dnssec log  versions 3 size 5m          severity dynamic          print-time yes             channel lame-servers file           file   var log named lame-servers log  versions 3 size 5m          severity dynamic          print-time yes              category default   default file         category general   general file         category database   database file         category security   security file         category config   config file         category resolver   resolver file         category xfer-in   xfer-in file         category xfer-out   xfer-out file         category notify   notify file         category client   client file         category unmatched   unmatched file         category queries   queries file         category network   network file         category update   update file         category dispatch   dispatch file         category dnssec   dnssec file         category lame-servers   lame-servers file          Hope this helps
