Introduction
dnstap adds a fast, binary format event stream directly into DNS servers. It uses Protocol Buffers to encode events that occur inside a nameserver in a vendor-neutral format. Currently dnstap can only encode the reception and transmission of wire-format DNS messages. Server-side dnstap support is being developed initially for the Unbound recursive DNS server. A command line tool to receive and decode dnstap events is also being worked on.
