What is dnsServCounterNonAuthDatas?
This counter measures the total number of DNS queries that were answered with cached data (non-authoritative responses) rather than freshly retrieved from authoritative nameservers. DNS operators use this metric to understand cache hit rates and verify that their caching policies are working as intended, which affects both query response times and upstream query load.
Examples
Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.32.1.1.2.5 snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> DNS-SERVER-MIB::dnsServCounterNonAuthDatas
Get a specific instance (index 1):
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.32.1.1.2.5.1 snmpget -v2c -c public <target> DNS-SERVER-MIB::dnsServCounterNonAuthDatas.1

Create custom SNMP monitor using the DNS-SERVER-MIB::dnsServCounterNonAuthDatas OID value, configure state conditions and alerts, and monitor any DNS server host software, e.g. BIND (vendor-neutral, IETF/IANA standard) from a single console.
