What Is DNS-SERVER-MIB?

DNS-SERVER-MIB is an IETF/IANA-registered standards-based module for monitoring DNS name server software over SNMP, independent of any particular vendor's DNS implementation. It exposes configuration data (recursion support, implementation identity) alongside operational counters covering query handling, such as authoritative and non-authoritative answers, referrals, and errors. In monitoring terms it is primarily a software-status MIB: dnsServConfigUpTime and dnsServConfigResetTime track how long the DNS service has been running and when it was last reset, while the counter objects reveal whether the server is answering queries successfully or generating an abnormal rate of errors or no-data responses, making this module a foundational building block for dns server monitoring across mixed-vendor deployments. It is a self-contained application-management MIB but is often deployed alongside the general NETWORK-SERVICES-MIB (applTable) for broader application-instance tracking. It is deployed on any server running SNMP-instrumented DNS server software (e.g., BIND or similar) in enterprise and service-provider environments.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in DNS-SERVER-MIB. Use the built-in SNMP Monitoring Browser to explore available variables, view their current values and descriptions, and select the objects you want to monitor. You can then create SNMP monitors, configure thresholds, and receive alerts when monitored values change.

What Can Be Monitored

DNS server uptime
query counters (authoritative/non-authoritative/errors)
recursion configuration
referral counts
counter reset time

Supported Devices

vendor-neutral, standards-based MIB, not tied to a specific manufacturer — applies to any DNS server host (e.g., BIND-based servers)

Monitoring Examples

An operator would poll dnsServConfigUpTime to confirm the DNS process hasn't unexpectedly restarted, and watch dnsServCounterErrors and dnsServCounterAuthNoNames over time to detect a rising rate of failed lookups. A sudden spike in dnsServCounterNonAuthNoDatas or dnsServCounterReferrals relative to dnsServCounterAuthAns could indicate zone data problems or misconfigured delegation. dnsServConfigReset could be invoked to reset counters after such an investigation, and dnsServConfigRecurs confirms whether the server is configured to perform recursive resolution.

STR dnsServConfigImplementIdent	1.3.6.1.2.1.32.1.1.1.1	DisplayString	read-only	The implementation identification string for the DNS server software in use on the system, for example; `FNS-2.1'
INT dnsServConfigRecurs	1.3.6.1.2.1.32.1.1.1.2	INTEGER	read-write	This represents the recursion services offered by this name server. The values that can be read or written are: available(1) - performs recursion on requests from clients. restricted(2) - recursion is performed on requests only from certain clients, for example; clients on an access control list. unavailable(3) - recursion is not available.
INT dnsServConfigReset	1.3.6.1.2.1.32.1.1.1.5	INTEGER	read-write	Status/action object to reinitialize any persistant name server state. When set to reset(2), any persistant name server state (such as a process) is reinitialized as if the name server had just been started. This value will never be returned by a read operation. When read, one of the following values will be returned: other(1) - server in some unknown state; initializing(3) - server (re)initializing; running(4) - server currently running.
DNS dnsServConfigResetTime	1.3.6.1.2.1.32.1.1.1.4	DnsTime	read-only	If the server has a persistent state (e.g., a process) and supports a `reset' operation (e.g., can be told to re-read configuration files), this value will be the time elapsed since the last time the name server was `reset.' For software that does not have persistence or does not support a `reset' operation, this value will be zero.
DNS dnsServConfigUpTime	1.3.6.1.2.1.32.1.1.1.3	DnsTime	read-only	If the server has a persistent state (e.g., a process), this value will be the time elapsed since it started. For software without persistant state, this value will be zero.

FAQ

How would DNS-SERVER-MIB help me confirm a BIND server has been stable and answering queries correctly?
dnsServConfigUpTime and dnsServConfigResetTime show how long the DNS service has been running and when it was last reset, while the counter objects for authoritative/non-authoritative answers, referrals, and errors reveal whether the server is answering successfully or generating an abnormal rate of errors.

Can DNS-SERVER-MIB tell me if a name server is misconfigured for recursion?
Yes, it exposes recursion-support configuration alongside implementation identity, so polling those objects confirms whether recursion is enabled as expected on a given DNS server instance.
