Hello BIND users,
(my apologies if this gets posted twice, I first sent to bind-users at isc.org<mailto:bind-users at isc.org> instead of bind-users at lists.isc.org<mailto:bind-users at lists.isc.org>)

I am running BIND 9.11.4 on CentOS 7, built with support for dnstap.  I am testing capturing of all DNS packets, including DNS update packets, but they don't seem to be captured.  Here are my named.conf options:

   dnstap-output   file "/tmp/dnstap.output"   ;
   dnstap {   all  ; };

I use nsupdate to send a DDNS update to my zone, which is added successfully.  However, the dnstap.output does not record the DNS update.  I see only the following three packets captured:

02-Aug-2018 16:24:37.365 AQ ::1:8145 -> ::1:0 UDP 38b test1.dnstaptest.com/IN/SOA
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id:  18817
;; flags:; QUESTION: 1, ANSWER: 0, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 0

02-Aug-2018 16:24:37.367 AR ::1:8145 <- ::1:0 UDP 32b dnstaptest.com/IN/SOA
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: UPDATE, status: NOERROR, id:  22809

;; ZONE SECTION:

Why is the DNS Update packet not captured/logged?

Thanks,
Greg Rabil
