-====== Networking - Bind - Enable Logging ======
-The **rndc** command controls the operation of a name server.
-If rndc is invoked with no command line options or arguments, it prints a short summary of the supported commands and the available options and their arguments.
-rndc communicates with the name server over a TCP connection, sending commands authenticated with digital signatures.
-In the current versions of rndc and bind the only supported authentication algorithm is HMAC-MD5, which uses a shared secret on each end of the connection.  This provides TSIG-style authentication for the command request and the name server's response.
-All commands sent over the channel must be signed by a key_id known to the server.
-----
-===== Turn on logging =====
-Type the following command as root to toggle query logging:
-<code bash>
-rndc querylog
-</code>
-----
-===== View bind sever query log =====
-Once this is done, you can view all logged queries usimg /var/log/messages file.
-To view those queries, type:
-<code bash>
-tail -f /var/log/messages
-</code>
-You might need to tail /var/log/syslog instead of /var/log/messages.

-===== Turn off logging =====
-Type the following command as root to toggle query logging:
-<code bash>
-rndc querylog
-</code>
-<WRAP info>
-**NOTE**:  It is important to place all log files into /var/log/named.
-The reason for this is that AppArmor by default only allows this location in /var/log.
-If you for instance used an alternative path, say /var/log/bind for the log files then you need to update AppArmor.
-<code bash>
-vi /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.named
-</code>
-</WRAP>
-----
-Create the logging master file.
-<code bash>
-vi /etc/bind/named.conf.logging
-</code>
-and populate as:

-Make the logging master file accessible to bind:
-<code bash>
-chown root.bind /etc/bind/named.conf.logging
-</code>
-and set the permissions on the file:
-<code bash>
-chmod 640 /etc/bind/named.conf.logging
-</code>
-Add the logging master file into the bind config.
-<code bash>
-vi /etc/bind/named.conf>
-</code>
-and modify as:
-<file bash /etc/bind/named.conf>
-include "/etc/bind/named.conf.logging";
-include "/etc/bind/named.conf.options";
-include "/etc/bind/named.conf.local";
-</file>

-It is advisable to create the log files manually:
-<code bash>
-touch /var/log/named/querylog.log
-touch /var/log/named/general.log
-touch /var/log/named/database.log
-touch /var/log/named/security.log
-touch /var/log/named/config.log
-touch /var/log/named/resolver.log
-touch /var/log/named/xfer-in.log
-touch /var/log/named/xfer-out.log

-touch /var/log/named/unmatched.log
-touch /var/log/named/queries.log
-touch /var/log/named/network.log
-touch /var/log/named/update.log
-touch /var/log/named/dispatch.log
-touch /var/log/named/dnssec.log
-touch /var/log/named/lame-servers.log
-</code>
-Make the files accessible to bind:
-<code bash>
-chown bind.bind /var/log/named/*
-</code>
-Make the log files writeable:
-<code bash>
-chmod 600 /var/log/named/*
-</code>
-Restart bind server to apply changes
-<code bash>
-systemctl restart bind.service
-</code>
-Check that bind is running okay
-<code bash>
-systemctl status bind.service
