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

Start monitoring DNS server host software, e.g. BIND (vendor-neutral, IETF/IANA standard) with a free 30-day trial of IPNetwork Monitor. 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.
