| • | Log details (Disk and Active Log View) |
| • | Log individual requests, responses, and other events |
Select this option to log DNS and DHCP requests.
| • | Include DNS record details When checked, activity will be logged at the record level. |
| • | Include EDNS0 details (UDP payload size) When checked, the EDNS0 details of requests and responses will be logged. |
| • | Include outbound DNS requests When checked, outbound requests (to resolve DNS) and associated responses are logged. |
| • | Include requests from blocked IP addresses When checked, requests from blocked IP addresses will be logged. |
| • | Only log Errors and Warnings Select this options to only log events for potential problems. |
| • | Log internationalized domain names (IDNs) in native characters When checked, all IDNs will be logged in native characters (log files are UTF8 encoded). |
| • | Active Log View (see Views) |
| • | Lines in Active Log View |
The maximum number of log lines displayed in the Active Log View.
When this number of lines is reached, older entries are removed to make room for new ones.
In general we recommend the default value of 100.
Higher values can impact performance, but may be helpful when troubleshooting.
| • | Buffer Active Log View |
When this option is enabled, Simple DNS Plus will continuously generate and buffer log data for the Active Log View.
This way the latest log entries will always be immediate available when you open the Active Log View.
This option can be very helpful for occasional troubleshooting, but generally it should be disabled to achieve the best performance.
