-Script retds.pl retrieves the DNS statistics of both BIND named servers and windows DNS servers. A table within this script specifies which statistics are to be extracted and defines the RRD file name and the DS name of these statistics at the same time.

A table within this script specifies which statistics are to be extracted and defines the RRD file name and the DS name of these statistics at the same time. The DNS servers to be monitored by this script are defined in the Xymon hosts.cfg file, using keyword RNAMED.
