Nine packages failed. Eight of them for one reason: `go test ./...` ran without
the tags the Makefile ships with (GOTAGS = grpcnotrace metrics), and
luxfi/metric is `//go:build !metrics` — every counter, gauge and histogram is a
no-op unless that tag is set. So metrics, metrics/vars and the kubernetes
object counters were all asserting on numbers that could never move:
RequestCount was not incremented. Before: 0.000000, After: 0.000000
The shipping binary does set it, so this was never a production defect — but a
gate that builds something other than what ships cannot see one either.
The rest were real, and none of them are about metrics:
test/metric_naming_test.go declared a local `type metric` while importing
the package named metric, which every other file here imports too. The
local type is the newcomer; renamed it visitor, for the ast.Visitor it is.
Its BuildFQName call went back to prometheus, which is whose name format is
under test — luxfi/metric has no three-part equivalent, only
AppendNamespace(namespace, name).
Three %q verbs applied to numbers — an MX preference, an Rcode, a SOA
serial. Newer vet rejects them, and `go test` runs vet, so three packages
failed to build without ever reaching a test.
TestImportOrdering walked operator/, which is its own module
(github.com/hanzoai/dns-operator) and imports no coredns, so the
std -> coredns -> 3rd shape it checks for has no middle group to find.
Skipped like pb/ and vendor/ already are, for the same reason.
Eight of the nine pass now. The ninth is test/, where seven metrics
integration tests scrape /metrics and find nothing — the counters record but
are not exposed. That is the other half of the luxfi/metric migration and
wants its own change.
file
Name
file - enables serving zone data from an RFC 1035-style master file.
Description
The file plugin is used for an "old-style" DNS server. It serves from a preloaded file that exists on disk contained RFC 1035 styled data. If the zone file contains signatures (i.e., is signed using DNSSEC), correct DNSSEC answers are returned. Only NSEC is supported! If you use this setup you are responsible for re-signing the zonefile.
Syntax
file DBFILE [ZONES...]
- DBFILE the database file to read and parse. If the path is relative, the path from the root plugin will be prepended to it.
- ZONES zones it should be authoritative for. If empty, the zones from the configuration block are used.
If you want to round-robin A and AAAA responses look at the loadbalance plugin.
file DBFILE [ZONES... ] {
reload DURATION
reload_by_mtime
fallthrough [ZONES...]
}
reloadinterval to perform a reload of the zone if the SOA version changes. Default is one minute. Value of0means to not scan for changes and reload. For example,30schecks the zonefile every 30 seconds and reloads the zone when serial changes.reload_by_mtimeif set, decision to reload the zone will be based on the zone file modification time, instead of change in the SOA serial.fallthroughIf zone matches and no record can be generated, pass request to the next plugin. If [ZONES...] is omitted, then fallthrough happens for all zones for which the plugin is authoritative. If specific zones are listed (for examplein-addr.arpaandip6.arpa), then only queries for those zones will be subject to fallthrough.
If you need outgoing zone transfers, take a look at the transfer plugin.
Examples
Load the example.org zone from db.example.org and allow transfers to the internet, but send
notifies to 10.240.1.1
example.org {
file db.example.org
transfer {
to * 10.240.1.1
}
}
Where db.example.org would contain RRSets (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7719#section-4) in the
(text) presentation format from RFC 1035:
$ORIGIN example.org.
@ 3600 IN SOA sns.dns.icann.org. noc.dns.icann.org. 2017042745 7200 3600 1209600 3600
3600 IN NS a.iana-servers.net.
3600 IN NS b.iana-servers.net.
www IN A 127.0.0.1
IN AAAA ::1
Or use a single zone file for multiple zones:
. {
file example.org.signed example.org example.net
transfer example.org example.net {
to * 10.240.1.1
}
}
Note that if you have a configuration like the following you may run into a problem of the origin not being correctly recognized:
. {
file db.example.org
}
We omit the origin for the file db.example.org, so this references the zone in the server block,
which, in this case, is the root zone. Any contents of db.example.org will then read with that
origin set; this may or may not do what you want.
It's better to be explicit here and specify the correct origin. This can be done in two ways:
. {
file db.example.org example.org
}
Or
example.org {
file db.example.org
}
