DnsServer Remote syslog server support

Hi. TechnitiumDNS seems to have a lot of logs. If query logging is used, the log file is larger. I am currently trying to centralize logs using the graylog server. If TechnitiumDNS supports a remote syslog server, I think all logs can be gathered in one place for more efficient management. thank.

Thanks for the feedback. Syslog support is in my to do list already.

If I can upvote that Feature Request a little... I'm starting to use Wazuh and want some logs too! :-)

Hi there,

@ShreyasZare, I didn't see any news from Technitium since a while so I hope you and your family are safe and in good shape... 😉 But if you are, what are the upcoming news?

My DNS servers are running fine and I have nothing to complain but I'm always curious to know what is coming next!

Let us know Kind regards

Thanks for asking. All is well here as usual. Its just that the next update is taking more time due to DNSSEC implementation which is quite complex.

Good news is that the implementation is almost done with a couple of things remaining to implement and the overall integration testing.

I was expecting it to be completed by this month but its taking slightly more time so should be ready for release by next month.

That is very cool, thanks a lot! 😊

I see 9.1 was released and while looking around, I still don't see any options for sending logs to a syslog server for correlation or auditing. Is this still a feature request?

Yes, the feature is planned but still not implemented due to demand for other features that were prioritized. I will update here when the feature is available.

This would be highly beneficial. are there any estimates on potential timeline for this one?

Syslog support and DHCPv6 are planned to be implemented after the current major version release that will be available in a couple of weeks. So it may take about a couple of months by current estimate.

Came across this issue... Just adding an option to write to console instead of files would solve a lot of cases... It's quite natural way for logging in containers and I'm trying to run it from flash memory and would like to avoid unnecessary writes, so it's either journald's in-memory buffer or remote logging.

But glad to hear that you have plans for it!

Thanks for the suggestion. Will add option for logging to console.
