.NAME
DnsServerDiagnostics .DESCRIPTION The DnsServerDiagnostics DSC resource manages the debugging and logging parameters on a Domain Name System (DNS) server. If the parameter DnsServer is set to 'localhost' then the resource can normally use the default credentials (SYSTEM) to configure the DNS server settings. If using any other value for the parameter DnsServer make sure that the credential the resource is run as have the correct permissions at the target node and the necessary network traffic is permitted. It is possible to run the resource with specific credentials using the built-in parameter PsDscRunAsCredential. .PARAMETER DnsServer Key - String Specifies the DNS server to connect to, or use 'localhost' for the current node. .PARAMETER Answers Write - Boolean Specifies whether to enable the logging of DNS responses. .PARAMETER EnableLogFileRollover Write - Boolean Specifies whether to enable log file rollover. .PARAMETER EnableLoggingForLocalLookupEvent Write - Boolean Specifies whether the DNS server logs local lookup events. .PARAMETER EnableLoggingForPluginDllEvent Write - Boolean Specifies whether the DNS server logs dynamic link library (DLL) plug-in events. .PARAMETER EnableLoggingForRecursiveLookupEvent Write - Boolean Specifies whether the DNS server logs recursive lookup events. .PARAMETER EnableLoggingForRemoteServerEvent Write - Boolean Specifies whether the DNS server logs remote server events. .PARAMETER EnableLoggingForServerStartStopEvent Write - Boolean Specifies whether the DNS server logs server start and stop events. .PARAMETER EnableLoggingForTombstoneEvent Write - Boolean Specifies whether the DNS server logs tombstone events. .PARAMETER EnableLoggingForZoneDataWriteEvent Write - Boolean Specifies whether the DNS server logs zone data write events. .PARAMETER EnableLoggingForZoneLoadingEvent Write - Boolean Specifies whether the DNS server logs zone load events. .PARAMETER EnableLoggingToFile Write - Boolean Specifies whether the DNS server logs logging-to-file. .PARAMETER EventLogLevel Write - UInt32 Specifies an event log level. Valid values are Warning, Error, and None. .PARAMETER FilterIPAddressList Write - StringArray Specifies an array of IP addresses to filter. When you enable logging, traffic to and from these IP addresses is logged. If you do not specify any IP addresses, traffic to and from all IP addresses is logged. .PARAMETER FullPackets Write - Boolean Specifies whether the DNS server logs full packets. .PARAMETER LogFilePath Write - String Specifies a log file path. .PARAMETER MaxMBFileSize Write - UInt32 Specifies the maximum size of the log file. This parameter is relevant if you set EnableLogFileRollover and EnableLoggingToFile to $true. .PARAMETER Notifications Write - Boolean Specifies whether the DNS server logs notifications. .PARAMETER Queries Write - Boolean Specifies whether the DNS server allows query packet exchanges to pass through the content filter, such as the FilterIPAddressList parameter. .PARAMETER QuestionTransactions Write - Boolean Specifies whether the DNS server logs queries. .PARAMETER ReceivePackets Write - Boolean Specifies whether the DNS server logs receive packets. .PARAMETER SaveLogsToPersistentStorage Write - Boolean Specifies whether the DNS server saves logs to persistent storage. .PARAMETER SendPackets Write - Boolean Specifies whether the DNS server logs send packets. .PARAMETER TcpPackets Write - Boolean Specifies whether the DNS server logs TCP packets. .PARAMETER UdpPackets Write - Boolean Specifies whether the DNS server logs UDP packets. .PARAMETER UnmatchedResponse Write - Boolean Specifies whether the DNS server logs unmatched responses. .PARAMETER Update Write - Boolean Specifies whether the DNS server logs updates. .PARAMETER UseSystemEventLog Write - Boolean Specifies whether the DNS server uses the system event log for logging. .PARAMETER WriteThrough Write - Boolean Specifies whether the DNS server logs write-throughs. .EXAMPLE 1 This configuration will manage a DNS server's diagnostics settings Configuration DnsServerDiagnostics_CurrentNode_Config { Import-DscResource -ModuleName 'DnsServerDsc' Node localhost { DnsServerDiagnostics 'Diagnostics' { DnsServer = 'localhost' Answers = $true EnableLogFileRollover = $true EnableLoggingForLocalLookupEvent = $true EnableLoggingForPluginDllEvent = $true EnableLoggingForRecursiveLookupEvent = $true EnableLoggingForRemoteServerEvent = $true EnableLoggingForServerStartStopEvent = $true EnableLoggingForTombstoneEvent = $true EnableLoggingForZoneDataWriteEvent = $true EnableLoggingForZoneLoadingEvent = $true EnableLoggingToFile = $true EventLogLevel = 7 FilterIPAddressList = @('10.0.10.1', '10.0.10.2') FullPackets = $false LogFilePath = 'd:\dnslogs\dns.log' MaxMBFileSize = 500000000 Notifications = $true Queries = $true QuestionTransactions = $true ReceivePackets = $false SaveLogsToPersistentStorage = $true SendPackets = $false TcpPackets = $false UdpPackets = $false UnmatchedResponse = $false Update = $true UseSystemEventLog = $true WriteThrough = $true } } } .EXAMPLE 2 This configuration will manage a DNS server's diagnostics settings Configuration DnsServerDiagnostics_RemoteNode_Config { Import-DscResource -ModuleName 'DnsServerDsc' Node localhost { DnsServerDiagnostics 'Diagnostics' { DnsServer = 'dns1.company.local' Answers = $true EnableLogFileRollover = $true EnableLoggingForLocalLookupEvent = $true EnableLoggingForPluginDllEvent = $true EnableLoggingForRecursiveLookupEvent = $true EnableLoggingForRemoteServerEvent = $true EnableLoggingForServerStartStopEvent = $true EnableLoggingForTombstoneEvent = $true EnableLoggingForZoneDataWriteEvent = $true EnableLoggingForZoneLoadingEvent = $true EnableLoggingToFile = $true EventLogLevel = 7 FilterIPAddressList = @('10.0.10.1', '10.0.10.2') FullPackets = $false LogFilePath = 'd:\dnslogs\dns.log' MaxMBFileSize = 500000000 Notifications = $true Queries = $true QuestionTransactions = $true ReceivePackets = $false SaveLogsToPersistentStorage = $true SendPackets = $false TcpPackets = $false UdpPackets = $false UnmatchedResponse = $false Update = $true UseSystemEventLog = $true WriteThrough = $true } } } |
