monitoring BIND

[Pásztor János]

Hello!

You should try collectd (http://collectd.org/) and it's bind plugin 
(http://collectd.org/wiki/index.php/Plugin:BIND) You can put the 
collected data to csv or RRD on the local server or send it over the 
network. With RRDtool you can make fancy graphs. With this cgi 
(http://haroon.sis.utoronto.ca/rrd/scripts/) you could easily visualize 
the data.

Regards,
János
