What is dnsServCounterNonAuthNoDatas?
This counter tracks the number of DNS queries answered non-authoritatively (from cache or forwarded data) that returned no matching records, also called negative responses or empty answers. DNS servers maintain this metric to understand query patterns and identify zones where no data is available. Operators analyze this to optimize caching behavior and detect potential configuration issues.
