Problem with statistics-interval

[Byungchul Cho]

As I know, the statistics result added on syslog file not specifc,
user-defined "named.stats" file. And the format also different 
from each other.

1) Here is a sample of named.stats
+++ Statistics Dump +++ (1032222022) Tue Sep 17 09:20:22 2002
121 time since boot (secs)
121 time since reset (secs)
0 Unknown query types
2 A queries
0 NS queries
....
0 AXFR queries
0 MAILB queries
0 MAILA queries
0 ANY queries
++ Name Server Statistics ++
(Legend)
RR RNXD RFwdR RDupR RFail
RFErr RErr RAXFR RLame ROpts
SSysQ SAns SFwdQ SDupQ SErr
RQ RIQ RFwdQ RDupQ RTCP
SFwdR SFail SFErr SNaAns SNXD
RUQ RURQ RUXFR RUUpd
(Global)
14 2 6 0 0 3 0 0 0 0 5 4 0 3 0 2 0 0 0 0 6 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0
-- Name Server Statistics --
--- Statistics Dump --- (1032222022) Tue Sep 17 09:20:22 2002

2) syslog
Sep 17 09:43:21 ngdn named[20881]: USAGE 1032223401 1032221901
CPU=0.01u/0s CHILDCPU=0u/0.01s
Sep 17 09:43:21 ngdn named[20881]: NSTATS 1032223401 1032221901 A=2
Sep 17 09:43:21 ngdn named[20881]: XSTATS 1032223401 1032221901 RR=14
RNXD=2 RFwdR=6 RDupR=0 RFail=0 RFErr=3 RErr=0 RAXFR=0 RLame=0 ROpts=0
SSysQ=5 SAns=4 SFwdQ=0 SDupQ=3 SErr=0 RQ=2 RIQ=0 RFwdQ=0 RDupQ=0 RTCP=0
SFwdR=6 SFail=0 SFErr=0 SNaAns=1 SNXD=0 RUQ=0 RURQ=0 RUXFR=0 RUUpd=

Maybe you could find statistics messages in syslog file every 15 minutes.
In order to do as you want, how about send "-ILL" signal by cron table?
It's simple but not so bad.

Does anyone have a better idea? ;)

Thanks,
Cho
