unbound-control(8)              unbound 1.19.3              unbound-control(8)



NAME
       unbound-control,  unbound-control-setup - Unbound remote server control
       utility.

SYNOPSIS
       unbound-control [-hq] [-c cfgfile] [-s server] command

DESCRIPTION
       Unbound-control performs remote administration on  the  unbound(8)  DNS
       server.   It  reads the configuration file, contacts the Unbound server
       over SSL sends the command and displays the result.

       The available options are:

       -h     Show the version and commandline option help.

       -c cfgfile
              The config file to read with settings.  If not given the default
              config file /usr/local/etc/unbound/unbound.conf is used.

       -s server[@port]
              IPv4  or  IPv6  address of the server to contact.  If not given,
              the address is read from the config file.

       -q     quiet, if the option is given it does not print anything  if  it
              works ok.

COMMANDS
       There are several commands that the server understands.

       start  Start  the  server.  Simply  execs unbound(8).  The Unbound exe-
              cutable is searched for in the PATH set in the environment.   It
              is  started  with  the config file specified using -c or the de-
              fault config file.

       stop   Stop the server. The server daemon exits.

       reload Reload the server. This flushes the cache and reads  the  config
              file fresh.

       reload_keep_cache
              Reload the server but try to keep the RRset and message cache if
              (re)configuration allows for it.  That means  the  caches  sizes
              and the number of threads must not change between reloads.

       verbosity number
              Change  verbosity  value  for  logging. Same values as verbosity
              keyword in unbound.conf(5).  This new setting  lasts  until  the
              server is issued a reload (taken from config file again), or the
              next verbosity control command.

       log_reopen
              Reopen the logfile, close and open it.  Useful  for  logrotation
              to  make  the  daemon release the file it is logging to.  If you
              are using syslog it will attempt to close and  open  the  syslog
              (which may not work if chrooted).

       stats  Print statistics. Resets the internal counters to zero, this can
              be controlled using the statistics-cumulative config  statement.
              Statistics are printed with one [name]: [value] per line.

       stats_noreset
              Peek at statistics. Prints them like the stats command does, but
              does not reset the internal counters to zero.

       status Display server status. Exit code 3 if not running  (the  connec-
              tion to the port is refused), 1 on error, 0 if running.

       local_zone name type
              Add  new  local  zone with name and type. Like local-zone config
              statement.  If the zone already exists, the type is  changed  to
              the given argument.

       local_zone_remove name
              Remove  the  local  zone with the given name.  Removes all local
              data inside it.  If the zone does not exist,  the  command  suc-
              ceeds.

       local_data RR data...
              Add  new  local data, the given resource record. Like local-data
              config statement, except for when no covering zone  exists.   In
              that case this remote control command creates a transparent zone
              with the same name as this record.

       local_data_remove name
              Remove all RR data from local name.  If the name already has  no
              items,  nothing happens.  Often results in NXDOMAIN for the name
              (in a static zone), but if the name has become an empty  nonter-
              minal  (there  is  still  data in domain names below the removed
              name), NOERROR nodata answers are the result for that name.

       local_zones
              Add local zones read from stdin  of  unbound-control.  Input  is
              read  per  line,  with name space type on a line. For bulk addi-
              tions.

       local_zones_remove
              Remove local zones read from stdin of unbound-control. Input  is
              one name per line. For bulk removals.

       local_datas
              Add  local data RRs read from stdin of unbound-control. Input is
              one RR per line. For bulk additions.

       local_datas_remove
              Remove local data RRs read from stdin of unbound-control.  Input
              is one name per line. For bulk removals.

       dump_cache
              The contents of the cache is printed in a text format to stdout.
              You can redirect it to a file to store the cache in a file.

       load_cache
              The contents of the cache is loaded from stdin.  Uses  the  same
              format as dump_cache uses.  Loading the cache with old, or wrong
              data can result in old or wrong data returned to clients.  Load-
              ing data into the cache in this way is supported in order to aid
              with debugging.

       lookup name
              Print to stdout the name servers that would be used to  look  up
              the name specified.

       flush name
              Remove  the  name from the cache. Removes the types A, AAAA, NS,
              SOA, CNAME, DNAME, MX, PTR, SRV, NAPTR, SVCB and HTTPS.  Because
              that  is  fast  to  do.  Other record types can be removed using
              flush_type or flush_zone.

       flush_type name type
              Remove the name, type information from the cache.

       flush_zone name
              Remove all information at or below the name from the cache.  The
              rrsets  and  key entries are removed so that new lookups will be
              performed.  This needs to walk and inspect the entire cache, and
              is  a slow operation.  The entries are set to expired in the im-
              plementation of this command (so,  with  serve-expired  enabled,
              it'll serve that information but schedule a prefetch for new in-
              formation).

       flush_bogus
              Remove all bogus data from the cache.

       flush_negative
              Remove all negative data from the cache.  This is  nxdomain  an-
              swers,  nodata  answers  and servfail answers.  Also removes bad
              key entries (which could be due  to  failed  lookups)  from  the
              dnssec  key cache, and iterator last-resort lookup failures from
              the rrset cache.

       flush_stats
              Reset statistics to zero.

       flush_requestlist
              Drop the queries that are  worked  on.   Stops  working  on  the
              queries  that  the server is working on now.  The cache is unaf-
              fected.  No reply is sent for  those  queries,  probably  making
              those  users  request  again  later.   Useful to make the server
              restart working on queries with new settings, such as  a  higher
              verbosity level.

       dump_requestlist
              Show  what  is worked on.  Prints all queries that the server is
              currently working on.  Prints the  time  that  users  have  been
              waiting.   For  internal requests, no time is printed.  And then
              prints out the module status.  This prints the queries from  the
              first thread, and not queries that are being serviced from other
              threads.

       flush_infra all|IP
              If all then entire infra cache is emptied.  If a specific IP ad-
              dress, the entry for that address is removed from the cache.  It
              contains EDNS, ping and lameness data.

       dump_infra
              Show the contents of the infra cache.

       set_option opt: val
              Set the option to the given value without a reload.   The  cache
              is  therefore  not  flushed.  The option must end with a ':' and
              whitespace must be between the option and the value.  Some  val-
              ues  may  not have an effect if set this way, the new values are
              not written to the config file, not all options  are  supported.
              This  is different from the set_option call in libunbound, where
              all values work because Unbound has not been initialized.

              The values that work are: statistics-interval,  statistics-cumu-
              lative,       do-not-query-localhost,      harden-short-bufsize,
              harden-large-queries,    harden-glue,    harden-dnssec-stripped,
              harden-below-nxdomain,      harden-referral-path,      prefetch,
              prefetch-key, log-queries,  hide-identity,  hide-version,  iden-
              tity,  version,  val-log-level, val-log-squelch, ignore-cd-flag,
              add-holddown, del-holddown, keep-missing, tcp-upstream,  ssl-up-
              stream,  max-udp-size,  ratelimit,  ip-ratelimit, cache-max-ttl,
              cache-min-ttl, cache-max-negative-ttl.

       get_option opt
              Get the value of the option.  Give the  option  name  without  a
              trailing  ':'.  The value is printed.  If the value is "", noth-
              ing is printed and the connection closes.  On error 'error  ...'
              is  printed  (it  gives  a syntax error on unknown option).  For
              some options a list of values, one on  each  line,  is  printed.
              The  options  are  shown  from  the config file as modified with
              set_option.  For some options an override may  have  been  taken
              that  does  not show up with this command, not results from e.g.
              the verbosity and forward control  commands.   Not  all  options
              work,   see   list_stubs,  list_forwards,  list_local_zones  and
              list_local_data for those.

       list_stubs
              List the stub zones in use.  These are printed one by one to the
              output.  This includes the root hints in use.

       list_forwards
              List  the  forward zones in use.  These are printed zone by zone
              to the output.

       list_insecure
              List the zones with domain-insecure.

       list_local_zones
              List the local zones in use.  These are  printed  one  per  line
              with zone type.

       list_local_data
              List  the  local  data  RRs  in  use.   The resource records are
              printed.

       insecure_add zone
              Add a domain-insecure for the given zone, like the statement  in
              unbound.conf.  Adds to the running Unbound without affecting the
              cache contents (which may still be bogus, use flush_zone to  re-
              move it), does not affect the config file.

       insecure_remove zone
              Removes domain-insecure for the given zone.

       forward_add [+i] zone addr ...
              Add  a new forward zone to running Unbound.  With +i option also
              adds a domain-insecure for the zone (so  it  can  resolve  inse-
              curely  if  you  have  a DNSSEC root trust anchor configured for
              other names).  The addr can be IP4,  IP6  or  nameserver  names,
              like forward-zone config in unbound.conf.

       forward_remove [+i] zone
              Remove a forward zone from running Unbound.  The +i also removes
              a domain-insecure for the zone.

       stub_add [+ip] zone addr ...
              Add a new stub zone to running Unbound.   With  +i  option  also
              adds  a  domain-insecure for the zone.  With +p the stub zone is
              set to prime, without it it is set to notprime.  The addr can be
              IP4,  IP6  or nameserver names, like the stub-zone config in un-
              bound.conf.

       stub_remove [+i] zone
              Remove a stub zone from running Unbound.  The +i also removes  a
              domain-insecure for the zone.

       forward [off | addr ... ]
              Setup  forwarding  mode.   Configures  if  the server should ask
              other upstream nameservers, should go to the internet root name-
              servers  itself, or show the current config.  You could pass the
              nameservers after a DHCP update.

              Without arguments the current list of addresses used to  forward
              all  queries  to  is  printed.  On startup this is from the for-
              ward-zone "." configuration.  Afterwards it  shows  the  status.
              It prints off when no forwarding is used.

              If  off  is  passed,  forwarding  is disabled and the root name-
              servers are used.  This can be used to avoid to avoid  buggy  or
              non-DNSSEC  supporting  nameservers returned from DHCP.  But may
              not work in hotels or hotspots.

              If one or more IPv4 or IPv6 addresses are given, those are  then
              used  to  forward  queries  to.  The addresses must be separated
              with spaces.  With '@port' the port number can be set explicitly
              (default port is 53 (DNS)).

              By  default  the  forwarder information from the config file for
              the root "." is used.  The config file is not changed, so  after
              a  reload  these changes are gone.  Other forward zones from the
              config file are not affected by this command.

       ratelimit_list [+a]
              List the domains that are ratelimited.   Printed  one  per  line
              with  current  estimated qps and qps limit from config.  With +a
              it prints all domains, not just the  ratelimited  domains,  with
              their  estimated  qps.   The ratelimited domains return an error
              for uncached (new) queries, but cached queries work as normal.

       ip_ratelimit_list [+a]
              List the ip addresses that are  ratelimited.   Printed  one  per
              line with current estimated qps and qps limit from config.  With
              +a it prints all ips, not just the ratelimited ips,  with  their
              estimated  qps.  The ratelimited ips are dropped before checking
              the cache.

       list_auth_zones
              List the auth zones that are configured.  Printed one  per  line
              with a status, indicating if the zone is expired and current se-
              rial number.  Configured RPZ zones are included.

       auth_zone_reload zone
              Reload the auth zone (or RPZ zone) from zonefile.  The  zonefile
              is  read in overwriting the current contents of the zone in mem-
              ory.  This changes the auth zone contents itself, not the  cache
              contents.  Such cache contents exists if you set Unbound to val-
              idate with  for-upstream  yes  and  that  can  be  cleared  with
              flush_zone zone.

       auth_zone_transfer zone
              Transfer the auth zone (or RPZ zone) from master.  The auth zone
              probe sequence is started, where the masters are probed  to  see
              if  they  have an updated zone (with the SOA serial check).  And
              then the zone is transferred for a newer zone version.

       rpz_enable zone
              Enable the RPZ zone if it had previously been disabled.

       rpz_disable zone
              Disable the RPZ zone.

       view_list_local_zones view
              list_local_zones for given view.

       view_local_zone view name type
              local_zone for given view.

       view_local_zone_remove view name
              local_zone_remove for given view.

       view_list_local_data view
              list_local_data for given view.

       view_local_data view RR data...
              local_data for given view.

       view_local_data_remove view name
              local_data_remove for given view.

       view_local_datas_remove view
              Remove a list of local_data for given view from stdin. Like  lo-
              cal_datas_remove.

       view_local_datas view
              Add  a  list  of local_data for given view from stdin.  Like lo-
              cal_datas.

EXIT CODE
       The unbound-control program exits with status code 1  on  error,  0  on
       success.

SET UP
       The  setup requires a self-signed certificate and private keys for both
       the server and  client.   The  script  unbound-control-setup  generates
       these  in  the  default run directory, or with -d in another directory.
       If you change the access control permissions on the key files  you  can
       decide  who can use unbound-control, by default owner and group but not
       all users.  Run the script under the same username as you have  config-
       ured  in  unbound.conf  or  as root, so that the daemon is permitted to
       read the files, for example with:
           sudo -u unbound unbound-control-setup
       If you have not configured a username in unbound.conf,  the  keys  need
       read  permission  for  the  user  credentials under which the daemon is
       started.  The script preserves private keys present in  the  directory.
       After  running  the  script  as  root,  turn  on  control-enable in un-
       bound.conf.

STATISTIC COUNTERS
       The stats command shows a number of statistic counters.

       threadX.num.queries
              number of queries received by thread

       threadX.num.queries_ip_ratelimited
              number of queries rate limited by thread

       threadX.num.queries_cookie_valid
              number of queries with a valid DNS Cookie by thread

       threadX.num.queries_cookie_client
              number of queries with a client part only DNS Cookie by thread

       threadX.num.queries_cookie_invalid
              number of queries with an invalid DNS Cookie by thread

       threadX.num.cachehits
              number of queries that were successfully answered using a  cache
              lookup

       threadX.num.cachemiss
              number of queries that needed recursive processing

       threadX.num.dnscrypt.crypted
              number  of queries that were encrypted and successfully decapsu-
              lated by dnscrypt.

       threadX.num.dnscrypt.cert
              number of queries that were requesting dnscrypt certificates.

       threadX.num.dnscrypt.cleartext
              number of queries received on dnscrypt port that were  cleartext
              and not a request for certificates.

       threadX.num.dnscrypt.malformed
              number  of  request  that  were  neither  cleartext,  not  valid
              dnscrypt messages.

       threadX.num.prefetch
              number of cache prefetches performed.  This number  is  included
              in  cachehits, as the original query had the unprefetched answer
              from cache, and resulted in recursive processing, taking a  slot
              in  the  requestlist.   Not part of the recursivereplies (or the
              histogram thereof) or cachemiss, as a cache response was sent.

       threadX.num.expired
              number of replies that served an expired cache entry.

       threadX.num.queries_timed_out
              number of queries that are dropped because they  waited  in  the
              UDP socket buffer for too long.

       threadX.query.queue_time_us.max
              The  maximum  wait time for packets in the socket buffer, in mi-
              croseconds. This is only reported when sock-queue-timeout is en-
              abled.

       threadX.num.recursivereplies
              The number of replies sent to queries that needed recursive pro-
              cessing. Could be smaller than threadX.num.cachemiss if  due  to
              timeouts no replies were sent for some queries.

       threadX.requestlist.avg
              The  average  number  of requests in the internal recursive pro-
              cessing request list on insert of a new incoming recursive  pro-
              cessing query.

       threadX.requestlist.max
              Maximum  size  attained by the internal recursive processing re-
              quest list.

       threadX.requestlist.overwritten
              Number of requests in the request list that were overwritten  by
              newer  entries. This happens if there is a flood of queries that
              recursive processing and the server has a hard time.

       threadX.requestlist.exceeded
              Queries that were dropped because the  request  list  was  full.
              This  happens  if  a flood of queries need recursive processing,
              and the server can not keep up.

       threadX.requestlist.current.all
              Current size of the request list, includes internally  generated
              queries (such as priming queries and glue lookups).

       threadX.requestlist.current.user
              Current  size of the request list, only the requests from client
              queries.

       threadX.recursion.time.avg
              Average time it took to answer  queries  that  needed  recursive
              processing.  Note that queries that were answered from the cache
              are not in this average.

       threadX.recursion.time.median
              The median of the time it took to answer queries that needed re-
              cursive  processing.   The  median  means  that  50% of the user
              queries were answered in less than this time.   Because  of  big
              outliers  (usually queries to non responsive servers), the aver-
              age can be bigger than the median.  This median has been  calcu-
              lated by interpolation from a histogram.

       threadX.tcpusage
              The currently held tcp buffers for incoming connections.  A spot
              value on the time of the request.  This helps you  spot  if  the
              incoming-num-tcp buffers are full.

       histogram.<sec>.<usec>.to.<sec>.<usec>
              Shows a histogram, summed over all threads. Every element counts
              the recursive queries whose reply time fit between the lower and
              upper  bound.   Times  larger  or  equal  to the lowerbound, and
              smaller than the upper bound.  There are 40 buckets, with bucket
              sizes doubling.

       num.query.type.A
              The  total number of queries over all threads with query type A.
              Printed for the other query types as  well,  but  only  for  the
              types for which queries were received, thus =0 entries are omit-
              ted for brevity.

       num.query.type.other
              Number of queries with query types 256-65535.

       num.query.class.IN
              The total number of queries over all threads with query class IN
              (internet).   Also printed for other classes (such as CH (CHAOS)
              sometimes used for debugging), or NONE, ANY, used by dynamic up-
              date.  num.query.class.other is printed for classes 256-65535.

       num.query.opcode.QUERY
              The  total  number of queries over all threads with query opcode
              QUERY.  Also printed for other opcodes, UPDATE, ...

       num.query.tcp
              Number of queries that were made using TCP towards  the  Unbound
              server.

       num.query.tcpout

              ing towards other servers.

       num.query.tls
              Number  of  queries that were made using TLS towards the Unbound
              server.  These are also counted in  num.query.tcp,  because  TLS
              uses TCP.

       num.query.tls.resume
              Number  of  TLS  session resumptions, these are queries over TLS
              towards the Unbound server where the  client  negotiated  a  TLS
              session resumption key.

       num.query.https
              Number of queries that were made using HTTPS towards the Unbound
              server.   These  are   also   counted   in   num.query.tcp   and
              num.query.tls, because HTTPS uses TLS and TCP.

       num.query.ipv6
              Number  of queries that were made using IPv6 towards the Unbound
              server.

              Also  printed  for  flags  QR, AA, TC, RA, Z, AD, CD.  Note that
              queries with flags QR, AA or TC may have been  rejected  because
              of that.

       num.query.edns.DO
              number  of  queries  that  had  an  EDNS  OPT record with the DO
              (DNSSEC OK) bit set.  These queries are  also  included  in  the
              num.query.edns.present number.

       num.query.ratelimited
              The  number  of  queries that are turned away from being send to
              nameserver due to ratelimiting.

       num.query.dnscrypt.shared_secret.cachemiss
              The number of dnscrypt queries that did not find a shared secret
              in the cache.  This can be used to compute the shared secret hi-
              trate.

       num.query.dnscrypt.replay
              The number of dnscrypt queries that found a  nonce  hit  in  the
              nonce cache and hence are considered a query replay.

       num.answer.rcode.NXDOMAIN
              The  number of answers to queries, from cache or from recursion,
              that had the return code NXDOMAIN. Also printed  for  the  other
              return codes.

       num.answer.rcode.nodata
              The number of answers to queries that had the pseudo return code
              nodata.  This means the actual return code was NOERROR, but  ad-
              ditionally,  no  data  was carried in the answer (making what is
              called a NOERROR/NODATA answer).  These  queries  are  also  in-
              cluded  in the num.answer.rcode.NOERROR number.  Common for AAAA
              lookups when an A record exists, and no AAAA.

       num.answer.secure
              Number of answers that were secure.  The answer  validated  cor-
              rectly.   The  AD  bit  might have been set in some of these an-
              swers, where the client signalled (with DO  or  AD  bit  in  the
              query) that they were ready to accept the AD bit in the answer.

       num.answer.bogus
              Number  of  answers  that were bogus.  These answers resulted in
              SERVFAIL to the client because the answer failed validation.

       num.rrset.bogus
              The number of rrsets marked bogus by the  validator.   Increased
              for every RRset inspection that fails.

       unwanted.queries
              Number  of  queries  that  were  refused or dropped because they
              failed the access control settings.

       unwanted.replies
              Replies that were unwanted or unsolicited.  Could have been ran-
              dom  traffic, delayed duplicates, very late answers, or could be
              spoofing attempts.  Some low level of late answers  and  delayed
              duplicates  are to be expected with the UDP protocol.  Very high
              values could indicate a threat (spoofing).

       msg.cache.count
              The number of items (DNS replies) in the message cache.

       rrset.cache.count
              The number of RRsets in the rrset cache.  This  includes  rrsets
              used  by  the messages in the message cache, but also delegation
              information.

       infra.cache.count
              The number of items in the infra cache.  These are IP  addresses
              with their timing and protocol support information.

       key.cache.count
              The  number  of  items in the key cache.  These are DNSSEC keys,
              one item per delegation point, and their validation status.

       msg.cache.max_collisions
              The maximum number of hash table collisions in  the  msg  cache.
              This  is the number of hashes that are identical when a new ele-
              ment is inserted in the hash table. If the value is very  large,
              like  hundreds,  something  is wrong with the performance of the
              hash table, hash values are incorrect or malicious.

       rrset.cache.max_collisions
              The maximum number of hash table collisions in the rrset  cache.
              This  is the number of hashes that are identical when a new ele-
              ment is inserted in the hash table. If the value is very  large,
              like  hundreds,  something  is wrong with the performance of the
              hash table, hash values are incorrect or malicious.

       dnscrypt_shared_secret.cache.count
              The number of items in the shared secret cache. These  are  pre-
              computed shared secrets for a given client public key/server se-
              cret key pair. Shared secrets are CPU intensive and  this  cache
              allows  Unbound to avoid recomputing the shared secret when mul-
              tiple dnscrypt queries are sent from the same client.

       dnscrypt_nonce.cache.count
              The number of items in the client nonce  cache.  This  cache  is
              used  to  prevent dnscrypt queries replay. The client nonce must
              be unique for each client public  key/server  secret  key  pair.
              This cache should be able to host QPS * `replay window` interval
              keys to prevent replay of a query during  `replay  window`  sec-
              onds.

       num.query.authzone.up
              The  number  of  queries  answered from auth-zone data, upstream
              queries.  These queries would otherwise  have  been  sent  (with
              fallback enabled) to the internet, but are now answered from the
              auth zone.

       num.query.authzone.down
              The number of queries for  downstream  answered  from  auth-zone
              data.   These  queries are from downstream clients, and have had
              an answer from the data in the auth zone.

       num.query.aggressive.NOERROR
              The number of queries answered using cached  NSEC  records  with
              NODATA  RCODE.   These queries would otherwise have been sent to
              the internet, but are now answered using cached data.

       num.query.aggressive.NXDOMAIN
              The number of queries answered using cached  NSEC  records  with
              NXDOMAIN RCODE.  These queries would otherwise have been sent to
              the internet, but are now answered using cached data.

       num.query.subnet
              Number of queries that got an answer that contained EDNS  client
              subnet data.

       num.query.subnet_cache
              Number  of  queries  answered from the edns client subnet cache.
              These are counted as cachemiss by the main counters, but hit the
              client subnet specific cache after getting processed by the edns
              client subnet module.

       num.query.cachedb
              Number of queries answered from the external cache  of  cachedb.
              These are counted as cachemiss by the main counters, but hit the
              cachedb external cache after getting processed  by  the  cachedb
              module.

       num.rpz.action.<rpz_action>
              Number  of queries answered using configured RPZ policy, per RPZ
              action type.  Possible actions are: nxdomain, nodata,  passthru,
              drop, tcp-only, local-data, disabled, and cname-override.
