ISC BIND Statistics Channel
BIND 9.5.0 initiated a new 'experimental' web interface feature which enables access to named statistics information using the statistics-channel statement in named.conf. Statistics access is provided via http as of BIND 9.5 but other access methods are planned in the future. The statistics-channel statement essentially defines an ACL to permit access to the server's statistics.
| statistics-channels { | |
| [inet (ip-address | *) [port (port | *)] [allow { address_match_list } ];] | |
| [inet ... ;] | |
| }; | |
where :
- ip-address is the IP address on which the server will listen for http statistics access; use of the '*' wildcard character means that rndc will listen on all of the server's configured IP addresses.
- port is the TCP port on which the server will accept http connections (80 is the default)
- address_match_list is a defined address match list comprising an access control list of allowable sources of http connections
