The BIND-DLZ project publishes an excellent set of performance testing tools which make it easy to generate a lot of fake DNS data for a variety of DNS server types.
I have even extended this excellent tool set by creating a few new “writer” modules:
- contrib::writers::mydns::file
- contrib::writers::powerdns::xdb
- contrib::writers::powerdns::sqlite3
- contrib::writers::powerdns::gmysql
- contrib::writers::windowsdns::file
Additionally, I modified the original dnsDataGen.pl script slightly so that the SOA record is always created first when generating a new zone. This was necessary for most of the new writer modules to function properly.
- DLZPerfTools-1.1-jmiller-contrib.tar.gz -The original upstream version of DLZPerfTools-1.1 with my new modules and changes already applied.
- bind-dlz-jmiller.patch – A diff file that can be applied against the upstream DLZPerfTools-1.1.tar.gz
- sample.conf – A sample config file for use with dnsDataGen.pl demonstrating how to use each of the new writer modules.
- dns-dict – My personal list of random words that I use to feed into dnsDataGen.pl
- announcement.txt -Announcement email to the bind-dlz-testers mailing list. This has a little bit more info about the patch and the new writer modules, if you need it.
Automatic real-time observability is critical to getting the full benefit of CI/CD. Hear @DevOpsDon discuss how Franklin American Mortgage Company cut their new application deployment time from 6-12 months to 2 weeks with the help of Instana APM.
