=head1 NAME

named - Plugin to monitor named statistics

=head1 ABOUT

This is a bit experimental, we will have to see which statistics prove to have
any meaning to get a feel with what happens on the nameserver.

=head1 USAGE

In your named.conf you must have statistics-interval set:

 options {
    ...
    statistics-interval 1;
    ...
 };

The number is in minutes.  At each interval just 3 lines is dumped.  It can be
desturbing if you usually read the logs yourself, but a 1 minute interval
ensures very updated information to munin.  5 minutes is the maximum I'd say.

The name of the file where syslog puts daemon output - ie the named statistics
output.  On solaris this is /var/adm/messages, on most linuxes it is
/var/log/messages.  But on Debian it is /var/log/daemon.log which is read
restricted so we have to run as a group or user with read rights, or remove the
restrictions on the log file.

=head1 CONFIGURATION

Configuration parameters for /etc/munin/named,
if you need to override the defaults below:

 [named]
  env.logfile   - set which log file to use

To ensure read access to the log files, you will need to add something like:

 [named]
  group adm

=head2 DEFAULT CONFIGURATION

 [named]
  env.logfile /var/adm/messages or /var/log/daemon.log
