Signed PGP part Hi all,
We are pleased to announce the release of DNS-STATS Compactor version 1.2.1-rc1.
Updates in 1.2.1-rc1 since 1.2.1-beta2 * Modify the format output by the debug option `--debug-qr` to be more human readable (`--debug-dns` output is left unchanged). * Fix 2 minor bugs where an incorrect start time could be written to the CDNS file, resulting in a negative file duration. * Documentation: correct the dependency list. * Fix build issue when using `configure --disable-pseudo-anonymisation`. Thanks Sean Burford for reporting this. * Add example docker image as a submodule in `contrib/dns-stats-docker`. Thanks to Sean Burford for providing this.
Updates in 1.2.1-beta2 since 1.2.1-beta1: * Bump the private version because schema extended with new stats. * Add new stats to C-DNS: sniffer drops, matcher drops and sampling discards, and 3 libpcap stats. The libpcap stats should not be considered reliable and provided for information only. * Fix file durations for files with more than one C-DNS block in them so high traffic rates can be correctly calculated from the statistics. * Constrain size of matcher queue to reduce memory consumption when dropping/sampling. * Add `-D` option (--relaxed-mode). With this option a warning (not an error) is issued for unrecognized command line and config file options.
Updates in 1.2.1-beta1 since 1.2.0: * Change behaviour of internal sniffer channel when overloaded to better report and manage dropping/sampling of packets * This fixes a bug where the 'Total Packets processed' statistic did not include any packets dropped during overload * Improve `log-interval` statistics and packet drop logging * EXPERIMENTAL: New sampling mode option (disabled by default) * sampling can be enabled at a specified rate for a specified time when packet drops exceed a specified threshold (see config options)
*Please note the change of PPA - Bionic packages are available for this release*
