From ruben at ripe.net Tue Feb 10 15:29:08 2009 From: ruben at ripe.net (Ruben van Staveren) Date: Tue, 10 Feb 2009 15:29:08 +0100 Subject: [dnsmon-user] Pending DNSMON raw data format change Message-ID: <49918F34.9080907@ripe.net> -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 [Apologies for duplicate emails] Dear Colleagues, On 2 March 2009, following some adjustments to the DNSMON collector software that runs on Test Traffic Measurement (TTM) boxes, the DNSMON raw data format will change. This change is required to distinguish between IPv4 and IPv6 in stream mode as used in the live data access facility for TTM and to log the DNS query ID. The current raw data format is: <probe name> <unix timestamp> <nameserver> <delay> <retries> <resource record> <resource record data> The format will change to: DNS|DNS6 <probe name> <unix timestamp> <nameserver> <delay> <retries> <query-id> <resource record> <resource record data> You should be able to handle both data formats for at least six months, and after that you may ignore the previous format. In all cases, any data after the resource record (at this time just hostname.bind, id.server, soa, version.bind, version.server) is resource record dependent. Unknown resource records need to be silently dropped by the software. For more information on the live data access facility for TTM, please see: https://www.ripe.net/projects/ttm/General/access.html If you have any comments or queries, please email dnsmon at ripe.net> Regards, Ruben van Staveren - -- Ruben van Staveren RIPE Network Coordination Center Information Services Singel 258 Amsterdam NL http://www.ripe.net +31 20 535 4444 PGP finger print 6501 4389 A675 477E DCE5 53D8 9108 49E2 DAFC 271B -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (Darwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEAREIAAYFAkmRjzQACgkQkQhJ4tr8Jxv3bACglDdMkVwwGY2vk+anJNnBU6jj UXAAoM6vTP4F/CUrmGj6q8EK084lUrZk =9U2C -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
