The logging system give you control over how the server logs events. The logging system is configured via the logging statement in the /etc/named.conf file. The logging system allows you to do the following:

  • limit incoming messages to a given severity level.

  • place a limit on the size of the logging file.

  • manage multiple versions for the logging file (to maintain historic data).

  • direct the logging messages to any of the syslogs facilities.

  • specify where messages belonging to specific categories are logged.

See the section “logging Statement” for more information on the logging system and how to use it.
