Capture DNS traffic

edit

The dns section of the packetbeat.yml config file specifies configuration options for the DNS protocol. The DNS protocol supports processing DNS messages on TCP and UDP. Here is a sample configuration section for DNS:

packetbeat.protocols:
- type: dns
  ports: [53]
  include_authorities: true
  include_additionals: true

Configuration options

edit

Also see Common protocol options.

`include_authorities`

edit

If this option is enabled, dns.authority fields (authority resource records) are added to DNS events. The default is false.

`include_additionals`

edit

If this option is enabled, dns.additionals fields (additional resource records) are added to DNS events. The default is false.
