Any software for better DNS logging and visualization?

Software SW tweaks

Does anyone have recommendations to better visualiz DNS request as well as more information with regards to more detailed DNS logging

I currently use Adblock and it is OK but it doesn’t show full request / response of DNS queries or the full URL.

I came across a blog that someone used syslog-ng to forward events to another server and set up ELK to help with the visualization

Are there any already available pieces of software I can install to get more detailed logging and to help visualize?

Thanks in advance

A DNS request does not include any kind of URL information. What does you mean with “full”?

if you want to use adblock this is the only way … use remote logging and filter dns stuff to extra file
also you can have pi-hole instead( installed in lxc) and there you have some fancy dashboard stuff , pie graphs and so on …

there is option Luci>Network>DHPC & DNS>GeneralSettings>LogQueries(on/off) , that should do the stuff (maybe?). and maybe supressLogging should be set off in advancedOptions section.

No, I believe it won’t do anything. No DNS settings from Luci get used by kresd or unbound.

I suspect you might be interested in PaKon.
