bind plugin: Add a new plugin for BIND 9.5 and 9.6 statistics.
Attached are patches for collectd-4.5.x and collectd-4.4.x series for a
plugin to collect statistics from a ISC Bind server.
ISC Bind introduces XML-based statistics which can be fetched via HTTP
starting with bind-9.5.0 and updated the XML structure with bind-9.6.0.
Both XML formats are supported by this plugin.
To enable access to these statistics, use the following configuration
block:
statistics-channels {
inet localhost port 8053 allow { localhost; };
};
Suggestions on improving the grouping of statistics values are welcome,
currently the following groups are implemented:
RRQueriesIn type=dns_qtype
Requests type=dns_request
QueryResults type=dns_rcode
Updates type=dns_update
ZoneMaintenance type=dns_zops
Resolver type=dns_resolver
