DNS Logs

To diagnose issues with zone synchronization or record propagation, you may need to inspect the data files and service logs directly on the server.

Data File Locations

The primary configuration and zone data for the DNS daemon are stored at:

/var/local/LxRoot/dnscd
Service Architecture

LxRoot uses a containerized dnscd service to manage PowerDNS. Changes made in the LxRoot dashboard are pushed to this directory and then reloaded into the DNS engine.

Viewing DNS Service Logs

If a zone is not loading or the service is failing to start, you can view the real-time logs using Docker:

docker logs -f dnscd

This will display any syntax errors in your zone templates or connectivity issues between the DNS role and the cluster master.
