overload_dns_stats_t Struct Reference

Data Fields
uint64_t	stats_n_request
time_t	next_assessment_time

Detailed Description

Overload DNS statistics. The information in this object is used to assess if, due to DNS errors, we should emit a general overload signal or not.

NOTE: This structure is not per DNS query type like the statistics below because of a libevent bug (https://github.com/libevent/libevent/issues/1219), on error, the type is not propagated up back to the user and so we need to keep our own stats for the overload signal.
