Configuration Reference
=======================

This page lists all configuration options for dnsdist.

.. note::

  When an IPv6 IP:PORT combination is needed, the bracketed syntax from :rfc:`RFC 3986 <3986#section-3.2.2>` should be used.
  e.g. "[2001:DB8:14::C0FF:FEE]:5300".

Functions and Types
-------------------

Within dnsdist several core object types exist:

* :class:`Server`: generated with :func:`newServer`, represents a downstream server
* :class:`ComboAddress`: represents an IP address and port
* :class:`DNSName`: represents a domain name
* :class:`NetmaskGroup`: represents a group of netmasks
* :class:`QPSLimiter`: implements a QPS-based filter
* :class:`SuffixMatchNode`: represents a group of domain suffixes for rapid testing of membership
* :class:`DNSHeader`: represents the header of a DNS packet, see :ref:`DNSHeader`
* :class:`ClientState`: sometimes also called Bind or Frontend, represents the addresses and ports dnsdist is listening on

The existence of most of these objects can mostly be ignored, unless you plan to write your own hooks and policies, but it helps to understand an expressions like:

.. code-block:: lua

  getServer(0).order=12         -- set order of server 0 to 12
  getServer(0):addPool("abuse") -- add this server to the abuse pool

The ``.`` means ``order`` is a data member, while the ``:`` means ``addPool`` is a member function.

Global configuration
--------------------

.. function:: includeDirectory(path)

  Include configuration files from ``path``.

  :param str path: The directory to load the configuration from

Listen Sockets
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

.. function:: addLocal(address[, options])

  .. versionadded:: 1.2.0

  .. versionchanged:: 1.3.0
    Added ``cpus`` to the options.

  Add to the list of listen addresses.

  :param str address: The IP Address with an optional port to listen on.
                      The default port is 53.
  :param table options: A table with key: value pairs with listen options.

  Options:

  * ``doTCP=true``: bool - Also bind on TCP on ``address``.
  * ``reusePort=false``: bool - Set the ``SO_REUSEPORT`` socket option.
  * ``tcpFastOpenSize=0``: int - Set the TCP Fast Open queue size, enabling TCP Fast Open when available and the value is larger than 0.
  * ``interface=""``: str - Set the network interface to use.
  * ``cpus={}``: table - Set the CPU affinity for this listener thread, asking the scheduler to run it on a single CPU id, or a set of CPU ids. This parameter is only available if the OS provides the pthread_setaffinity_np() function.

  .. code-block:: lua

    addLocal('0.0.0.0:5300', { doTCP=true, reusePort=true })

  This will bind to both UDP and TCP on port 5300 with SO_REUSEPORT enabled.

.. function:: addLocal(address[[[,do_tcp], so_reuseport], tcp_fast_open_qsize])

  .. deprecated:: 1.2.0

  Add to the list of addresses listened on.

  :param str address: The IP Address with an optional port to listen on.
                      The default port is 53.
  :param bool do_tcp: Also bind a TCP port on ``address``, defaults to true.
  :param bool so_reuseport: Use ``SO_REUSEPORT`` if it is available, defaults to false
  :param int tcp_fast_open_qsize: The size of the TCP Fast Open queue. Set to a number
                                  higher than 0 to enable TCP Fast Open when available.
                                  Default is 0.

.. function:: addTLSLocal(address, certFile(s), keyFile(s) [, options])

  .. versionadded:: 1.3.0
  .. versionchanged:: 1.3.1
    ``certFile(s)`` and ``keyFile(s)`` parameters accept a list of files.
    ``disableTickets`` option added.

  Listen on the specified address and TCP port for incoming DNS over TLS connections, presenting the specified X.509 certificate.

  :param str address: The IP Address with an optional port to listen on.
                      The default port is 853.
  :param str certFile(s): The path to a X.509 certificate file in PEM format, or a list of paths to such files.
  :param str keyFile(s): The path to the private key file corresponding to the certificate, or a list of paths to such files, whose order should match the certFile(s) ones.
  :param table options: A table with key: value pairs with listen options.

  Options:

  * ``doTCP=true``: bool - Also bind on TCP on ``address``.
  * ``reusePort=false``: bool - Set the ``SO_REUSEPORT`` socket option.
  * ``tcpFastOpenSize=0``: int - Set the TCP Fast Open queue size, enabling TCP Fast Open when available and the value is larger than 0.
  * ``interface=""``: str - Set the network interface to use.
  * ``cpus={}``: table - Set the CPU affinity for this listener thread, asking the scheduler to run it on a single CPU id, or a set of CPU ids. This parameter is only available if the OS provides the pthread_setaffinity_np() function.
  * ``provider``: str - The TLS library to use between GnuTLS and OpenSSL, if they were available and enabled at compilation time.
  * ``ciphers``: str - The TLS ciphers to use. The exact format depends on the provider used.
  * ``numberOfTicketsKeys``: int - The maximum number of tickets keys to keep in memory at the same time, if the provider supports it (GnuTLS doesn't, OpenSSL does). Only one key is marked as active and used to encrypt new tickets while the remaining ones can still be used to decrypt existing tickets after a rotation. Default to 5.
  * ``ticketKeyFile``: str - The path to a file from where TLS tickets keys should be loaded, to support RFC 5077. These keys should be rotated often and never written to persistent storage to preserve forward secrecy. The default is to generate a random key. The OpenSSL provider supports several tickets keys to be able to decrypt existing sessions after the rotation, while the GnuTLS provider only supports one key.
  * ``ticketsKeysRotationDelay``: int - Set the delay before the TLS tickets key is rotated, in seconds. Default is 43200 (12h).
  * ``disableTickets``: bool - Disable the use of session resumption via session tickets. Default is false, meaning tickets are enabled.

                                  higher than 0 to enable TCP Fast Open when available.
                                  Default is 0.

Control Socket, Console and Webserver
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

.. function:: addConsoleACL(netmask)

  .. versionadded:: 1.3.0

  Add a netmask to the existing console ACL, allowing remote clients to connect to the console. Please make sure that encryption

  :param str key: An encoded key, as generated by :func:`makeKey`

.. function:: setConsoleACL(netmasks)

  .. versionadded:: 1.3.0

  Remove the existing console ACL and add the netmasks from the table, allowing remote clients to connect to the console. Please make sure that encryption
  has been enabled with :func:`setKey` before doing so.

  :param {str} netmasks: A table of CIDR netmask, e.g. ``{"192.0.2.0/24", "2001:DB8:14::/56"}``. Without a subnetmask, only the specific address is allowed.

    Removes the server from the named pool

    :param str pool: The pool to remove the server from

  .. method:: Server:setAuto([status])

    .. versionchanged:: 1.3.0
        ``status`` optional parameter added.

    Set the server in the default auto state.
    This will enable health check queries that will set the server ``up`` and ``down`` appropriately.

    :param bool status: Set the initial status of the server to ``up`` (true) or ``down`` (false) instead of using the last known status

  .. method:: Server:setQPS(limit)

    Set the server in an ``DOWN`` state.
    The server will not receive queries and the health checks are disabled

  .. method:: Server:setUp()

    Set the server in an ``UP`` state.
    This server will still receive queries and health checks are disabled

  Apart from the functions, a :class:`Server` object has these attributes:

  .. attribute:: Server.name

    The name of the server

  .. attribute:: Server.upStatus

    Whether or not this server is up or down

  .. attribute:: Server.order

    The order of the server

  .. attribute:: Server.weight

    The weight of the server

Pools
-----

:class:`Server`\ s can be part of any number of pools.
Pools are automatically created when a server is added to a pool (with :func:`newServer`), or can be manually created with :func:`addPool`.

.. function:: addPool(name) -> ServerPool

  Returns a :class:`ServerPool`.

  :param string name: The name of the pool to create

.. function:: getPool(name) -> ServerPool

  Returns a :class:`ServerPool` or nil.

  :param string name: The name of the pool

    .. versionadded:: 1.3.0

    Set to true if dnsdist should add EDNS Client Subnet information to the query before looking up into the cache,
    when all servers from this pool are down. If at least one server is up, the preference of the
    selected server is used, this parameter is only useful if all the backends in this pool are down
    and have EDNS Client Subnet enabled, since the queries in the cache will have been inserted with
    ECS information. Default is false.

PacketCache
~~~~~~~~~~~

A Pool can have a packet cache to answer queries directly in stead of going to the backend.
See :doc:`../guides/cache` for a how to.

.. function:: newPacketCache(maxEntries[, maxTTL=86400[, minTTL=0[, temporaryFailureTTL=60[, staleTTL=60[, dontAge=false[, numberOfShards=1[, deferrableInsertLock=true[, maxNegativeTTL=3600]]]]]]]) -> PacketCache

.. function:: getBind(index) -> ClientState

  Return a :class:`ClientState` object.

  :param int index: The object index

ClientState functions
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

.. class:: ClientState

  This object represents an address and port dnsdist is listening on. When ``reuseport`` is in use, several ClientState objects can be present for the same address and port.

  .. method:: ClientState:attachFilter(filter)

     Attach a BPF filter to this frontend.

     :param BPFFilter filter: The filter to attach to this frontend

  .. method:: ClientState:detachFilter()

DynBlockRulesGroup
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Instead of using several `exceed*()` lines, dnsdist 1.3.0 introduced a new `DynBlockRulesGroup` object
which can be used to group dynamic block rules.

See :doc:`../guides/dynblocks` for more information about the case where using a `DynBlockRulesGroup` might be
faster than the existing rules.

.. function:: dynBlockRulesGroup() -> DynBlockRulesGroup

  .. versionadded:: 1.3.0

  Creates a new :class:`DynBlockRulesGroup` object.

.. class:: DynBlockRulesGroup

  Represents a group of dynamic block rules.

  .. method:: DynBlockRulesGroup:setQueryRate(rate, seconds, reason, blockingTime [, action])

    Adds a query rate-limiting rule, equivalent to:
    ```
    addDynBlocks(exceedQRate(rate, seconds), reason, blockingTime, action)
    ```

    :param int rate: Number of queries per second to exceed
    :param int seconds: Number of seconds the rate has been exceeded
    :param string reason: The message to show next to the blocks
    :param int blockingTime: The number of seconds this block to expire
    :param int action: The action to take when the dynamic block matches, see :ref:`here <DNSAction>`. (default to the one set with :func:`setDynBlocksAction`)

  .. method:: DynBlockRulesGroup:setRCodeRate(rcode, rate, seconds, reason, blockingTime [, action])

    Adds a rate-limiting rule for responses of code ``rcode``, equivalent to:
    ```
    addDynBlocks(exceedServfails(rcode, rate, seconds), reason, blockingTime, action)
    ```

    :param int rcode: The response code
    :param int rate: Number of responses per second to exceed
    :param int seconds: Number of seconds the rate has been exceeded
    :param string reason: The message to show next to the blocks
    :param int blockingTime: The number of seconds this block to expire
    :param int action: The action to take when the dynamic block matches, see :ref:`here <DNSAction>`. (default to the one set with :func:`setDynBlocksAction`)

  .. method:: DynBlockRulesGroup:setQTypeRate(qtype, rate, seconds, reason, blockingTime [, action])

    Adds a rate-limiting rule for queries of type ``qtype``, equivalent to:
    ```
    addDynBlocks(exceedQTypeRate(type, rate, seconds), reason, blockingTime, action)
    ```

    :param int qtype: The qtype
    :param int rate: Number of queries per second to exceed
    :param int seconds: Number of seconds the rate has been exceeded
    :param string reason: The message to show next to the blocks

    :param int action: The action to take when the dynamic block matches, see :ref:`here <DNSAction>`. (default to the one set with :func:`setDynBlocksAction`)

  .. method:: DynBlockRulesGroup:setRespByteRate(rate, seconds, reason, blockingTime [, action])

    Adds a bandwidth rate-limiting rule for responses, equivalent to:
    ```
    addDynBlocks(exceedRespByterate(rate, seconds), reason, blockingTime, action)
    ```

    :param int rate: Number of bytes per second to exceed
    :param int seconds: Number of seconds the rate has been exceeded
    :param string reason: The message to show next to the blocks

    :param int action: The action to take when the dynamic block matches, see :ref:`here <DNSAction>`. (default to the one set with :func:`setDynBlocksAction`)

  .. method:: DynBlockRulesGroup:apply()

    Walk the in-memory query and response ring buffers and apply the configured rate-limiting rules, adding dynamic blocks when the limits have been exceeded.

Other functions
---------------

.. function:: maintenance()

  If this function exists, it is called every second to so regular tasks.
  This can be used for e.g. :doc:`Dynamic Blocks <../guides/dynblocks>`.

TLSContext
~~~~~~~~~~

.. class:: TLSContext

  .. versionadded:: 1.3.0

  This object represents an address and port dnsdist is listening on for DNS over TLS queries.

  .. method:: TLSContext:rotateTicketsKey()

     Replace the current TLS tickets key by a new random one.

  .. method:: TLSContext:loadTicketsKeys(ticketsKeysFile)

     Load new tickets keys from the selected file, replacing the existing ones. These keys should be rotated often and never written to persistent storage to preserve forward secrecy. The default is to generate a random key. The OpenSSL provider supports several tickets keys to be able to decrypt existing sessions after the rotation, while the GnuTLS provider only supports one key.

    :param str ticketsKeysFile: The path to a file from where TLS tickets keys should be loaded.

TLSFrontend
~~~~~~~~~~

.. class:: TLSFrontend

  .. versionadded:: 1.3.1

  This object represents the configuration of a listening frontend for DNS over TLS queries. To each frontend is associated a TLSContext.

  .. method:: TLSContext:loadNewCertificatesAndKeys(certFile(s), keyFile(s))

     Create and switch to a new TLS context using the same options than were passed to the corresponding `addTLSLocal()` directive, but loading new certificates and keys from the selected files, replacing the existing ones.

  :param str certFile(s): The path to a X.509 certificate file in PEM format, or a list of paths to such files.
  :param str keyFile(s): The path to the private key file corresponding to the certificate, or a list of paths to such files, whose order should match the certFile(s) ones.
