BIND 9.11.4 dnstap not capturing updates

[Darcy, Kevin]

I'm no expert in DNSTAP, but I see this in the output:

opcode: UPDATE

along with proper reinterpretations of the sections:

ZONE: 1, PREREQ: 0, UPDATE: 0, ADDITIONAL: 0

How is that "not record[ing} the DNS update"? Are you looking for something
prettier? More detailed?
