DNS Statistics Collector (DSC) is a tool used for collecting and exploring statistics from busy DNS servers. It uses a distributed architecture with collectors running on or near nameservers sending their data to one or more central presenters for display and archiving. Collectors use pcap to sniff network traffic. They transmit aggregated data to the presenter as XML data.

DNS Statistics Presenter can be found here:

If you are installing from the GitHub repository you need to initialize the submodule first and generate configure.

git submodule update --init
./autogen.sh

Now you can compile with optional options and install.

./configure [options ... ]
make
make install
