category "default" { "default_syslog"; "default_debug"; };
For example, if you want to log security events to a file and also want to keep the default logging behavior,
you need to specify the following in the
logging statement:
channel "my_security_channel" {
file "my_security_file";
severity info;
};
category "security" {
"my_security_channel";
"default_syslog";
"default_debug";
};
To discard all messages in a category, specify the
null channel, as in the following:
category "xfer-out" { "null"; };
category "notify" { "null"; };
The following are the available categories and brief descriptions of the types of log information they con-
tain. More categories may be added in future BIND releases.
