Subject: dns plugin: Implement the `SelectNumericQueryTypes' option.
X-Git-Tag: collectd-4.8.0~107
X-Git-Url: https://git.tokkee.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=442f435a3d57762d7db6ed23307e3e32478e68be;p=collectd.git

dns plugin: Implement the `SelectNumericQueryTypes' option.

I've added this patch to my collectd because I have my data dir overpopulated
by unknown query types (those not found in nameserv.h which are converted to
their #xxxx numeric form).

When enabled in configuration file, this option just prevent registering these
qtypes to the list.

I don't see any issues, so I decided to contribute this patch to the list.

This has being tested against 4.6.2, but shouldn't have problems with 4.7.0

Your comments are welcome.

Mirko
