unbound process is still up, but i need to redownload the unbound_manager script


fixed.

update should check success download prior to modifying unbound_manager.sh :)

manually downloaded script from github

repeated "uf" all ok. unbound.log still reporting queries. original behavior not reproduceable

in my case, i was missing the /jffs/scripts/openvpn-event file, that i was able to create, after searching the forum on the topic of vpn events. other than that , with the latest hotfix, works great :) thanks!
[edit] i also added:
/opt/etc/syslog-ng.d/openvpn and /opt/etc/logrotate.d/openvpn for easier event tracking
[edit2]
i'd say that to add this to the easy menu, maybe the creation of these scripts needs to be automated

Odd, seems you do not have either the log or the stats scheduled. This is fixed by running:
Code: 
/jffs/addons/unbound/unbound_stats.sh install

Let me know if that gets stats going every hour. This should have been called by unbound_manager.sh, perhaps during upgrade something is missed... hmm..

I installed the GUI again, changed the logs in the unbound.config and did a restart of unbound.
Here also my configuration regarding logs, I tried even to activate everything but no effect until now...

Any idea what I can change?

OK, your logs seems to be an a different format. Can you push a snippet of your unbound.log? I think I focused on when syslog is used, perhaps without it on your system it is different. You should be able to find your logs at /opt/var/lib/unbound/unbound.log.

The other option would be to try turning on scribe. and using the "scribe" command in unbound_manager (advanced mode) to output to the System log.

Thanks.

Thank you. Everything is fine now.
 
juched said:
Yes, but I pushed a fix to dev. Can you try it?

run the "sgui dev" command from the advanced menu and it should get the latest and install. If fixed it should generate proper log info when no using scribe (syslog-ng).

Thanks for reporting this.
Click to expand...
I run the command "sgui dev".
Code: 
    unbound_stats.sh downloaded successfully Github 'dev/development' branch
    unboundstats_www.asp downloaded successfully Github 'dev/development' branch
    unbound_log.sh downloaded successfully Github 'dev/development' branch
So I think installation worked fine so far.
I restarted unbound, but still get this result in the GUI, even after updating the starts.

UPDATE:
I executet "sgui dev" again, followed by unbound restart "rs". And now it works, still showing the old entries in the log. So its working without scribe. Thank you juched!
Sorry that I cannot state the reason what happen the first time I tried to implement your solution... :confused:

As previously stated, currently there is no housekeeping for the native unbound log '/opt/var/lib/unbound/unbound.log' - hence the attempt to encourage scribe/syslog-ng logging and discourage native unbound logging e.g. 130MB unbound log!!!

Other problems can and do occur with DNS logging i.e. excessive CPU usage etc., so usually the advice is that the logging feature should only be used temporarily for debugging real DNS issues.

The default 'unbound.conf' directives
Code: 
#########################################
# integration LOG's
#
#verbosity: 1                               # v1.02 '1' is adequate to prove unbound is processing domains
logfile: "/opt/var/lib/unbound/unbound.log" # v1.01 as per @dave14305 minimal config
log-time-ascii: yes                         # v1.01 as per @dave14305 minimal config
log-tag-queryreply: yes                     # v1.02 @Martineau Explicitly Tag log-queries/replies with 'query'/'reply'
#log-queries: yes
#log-replies: yes
#use-syslog: yes                            # v1.02 @Martineau Recommended to let scribe/syslog-ng handle the log(s); (i.e. No housekeeping for 'logfile')
#log-local-actions: yes                     # v1.02 @Martineau ('yes' required for @juched's Graphical Ad Block statistics)
log-servfail: yes                           # v1.01 as per @dave14305 minimal config
#########################################

are such that when unbound is first installed/started, they allow only 4 or 5 lines to be written to '/opt/var/lib/unbound/unbound.log' (simply to prove that unbound successfully initialised)
Chris0815 said:

Click to expand...
Commands 'lo'/'lx' do not alter the contents of 'unbound.conf' so the native unbound logging is dynamic, and thus stops (inveterate tinkerers give it a rest! ;)) when unbound is restarted.
Chris0815 said:

Click to expand...
Not for the basic cache stats, but @juched's Graphical Statistics TAB mainly requires logging, so the loss of dynamic logging does have an impact, so ideally I propose......once @juched's script has extracted its metrics from the '/opt/var/lib/unbound/unbound.log' then if it is say >10MB then @juched's script should delete it.

​
For the incorrect status, the script still checks for either
Code: 
log-queries: yes
log-replies: yes
in 'unbound.conf' (or dynamically set) to indicate ACTIVE logging, so I'll push a release to correct this.

@Chris0815 , I've hacked the logic for the logging implementation, would you mind giving v3.06Beta test?
Code: 
e  = Exit Script [?]

A:Option ==> uf dev

 unbound_manager.sh downloaded successfully Github 'dev/development' branch

Please try the 'lo'/'lx' sequence a few times to check the status etc.

NOTE: 'lo' now immediately auto-opens the logfile
Code: 
A:Option ==> lo

and eye-catchers are written to the log to show when the 'lo'/'lx' commands were issued by 'unbound_manager'

Also I've implemented '/opt/var/lib/unbound/unbound.log' housekeeping by cron @00:01 daily (this shouldn't impact @juched's daily stats cron jobs which is @ hh:57 & hh:59)

As previously stated, currently there is no housekeeping for the native unbound log '/opt/var/lib/unbound/unbound.log' - hence the attempt to encourage scribe/syslog-ng logging and discourage native unbound logging e.g. 130MB unbound log!!!

Other problems can and do occur with DNS logging i.e. excessive CPU usage etc., so usually the advice is that the logging feature should only be used temporarily for debugging real DNS issues.

The default 'unbound.conf' directives
Code:

# integration LOG's

#verbosity: 1                               # v1.02 '1' is adequate to prove unbound is processing domains

log-time-ascii: yes                         # v1.01 as per @dave14305 minimal config

#use-syslog: yes                            # v1.02 @Martineau Recommended to let scribe/syslog-ng handle the log(s); (i.e. No housekeeping for 'logfile')
#log-local-actions: yes                     # v1.02 @Martineau ('yes' required for @juched's Graphical Ad Block statistics)
log-servfail: yes                           # v1.01 as per @dave14305 minimal config

are such that when unbound is first installed/started, they allow only 4 or 5 lines to be written to '/opt/var/lib/unbound/unbound.log' (simply to prove that unbound successfully initialised)

Commands 'lo'/'lx' do not alter the contents of 'unbound.conf' so the native unbound logging is dynamic, and thus stops (inveterate tinkerers give it a rest! ;)) when unbound is restarted.

Not for the basic cache stats, but @juched's Graphical Statistics TAB mainly requires logging, so the loss of dynamic logging does have an impact, so ideally I propose......once @juched's script has extracted its metrics from the '/opt/var/lib/unbound/unbound.log' then if it is say >10MB then @juched's script should delete it.
​
For the incorrect status, the script still checks for either
Code: 
log-queries: yes
log-replies: yes
in 'unbound.conf' (or dynamically set) to indicate ACTIVE logging, so I'll push a release to correct this.

The log script does clean up certain log entries after being processed to reduce size. For example all reply/nx_domain/rpz/transparent/static entries are removed.

This should greatly reduce the growth of the log.

@Martineau, if you would like, I could introduce more log cleaning right at the time of processing, to avoid the need for another cron if you like.

If you have the time that would be good, but what if someone enables native unbound logging and doesn't require/install your scripts? ;):eek::eek::eek:

True, good point. Who would do such at thing? ;)

The hope is that if SGUI is installed, then you can avoid other log cleanup needing to be run. Or, perhaps I just call your log cleanup function, and then you can only install your cron when SGUI is not enabled. Thoughts?

@Chris0815 , I've hacked the logic for the logging implementation, would you mind giving v3.06Beta test?

Never thought becoming one of a Beta-Tester... ;) for sure...
Martineau said:
Please try the 'lo'/'lx' sequence a few times to check the status etc.

Its working perfectly!
Martineau said:
NOTE: 'lo' now immediately auto-opens the logfile

Good idea!

Very good idea - I lpersonally ike this visual effect because then it gets clear what happens between certain events!

cron Job shows the following - seems there is a new entry but no timing?

One thing that I realized during some installation trails:
During Install I skipped the logging feature (hitting "Enter")
But logging is indicated as installed at the end.

As you mentioned I can deactivate it by "lx" but on a restart it is still active again and I have no possibility to deactivate in general by any command?

UPDATE:
Here is the current config after the installation by "1"

Please download the latest v3.06 Beta
Code: 
e  = Exit Script [?]

A:Option ==> uf dev
then ENABLE logging
Code: 
e  = Exit Script [?]

A:Option ==> lo
and see if the #unboundLOG# cron job is correctly displayed.

So to unterstand for beginners like me: if enabled logging, this cron will cut "/opt/var/log/unbound.log" once a day back to 10MB?
Or resting my Router completely :confused:;)?
