Additional Notes for show dns stats

The show dns stats command in expert mode does not filter any output, and it allows the use of the pipe symbol ( | ). In expert mode, show dns stats can run with |grep and behave as follows:

    • Removes the internal statistic file.
    • Runs rndc stats to write data to the internal statistic file.
    • Displays the raw content of the internal statistic file.
