Solved Dnsmasq cache statistics?

[kstamand]

Is there any way to get statistics for dnsmasq cache usage?

A general Google search showed one possibility (pkill -USR1 dnsmasq), but I didn’t find anything in the log(s) with that information.

killall -s USR1 dnsmasq

And if Logging is enabled in Diversion, you have to look for the results in /opt/var/log/dnsmasq.log instead of the normal syslog.

 

[kstamand]

killall -s USR1 dnsmasq

Doesn’t appear to work. I checked syslog (messages) and dnsmasq.log and not seeing any related statistics.

dnsmasq.conf has not been modified from default, other than by what Diversion adds.

Am I missing something?

The command is correct so you must be using some sort of non-default logging.

Nov  1 08:00:00 dnsmasq[30398]: time 4964517

I found that while Diversion is running that the stats will not show up in the logs with the killall command.

Any thoughts or should I post a separate question in the Asuswrt-Merlin AddOns channel?

Thanks @ColinTaylor and @dave14305, I was finally able to find the stats in the dnsmasq.log - i was assuming the stats would be at the end of the log after issuing the command but they were at the start of the very long list of block lines that were printed after the stats.

THANKS MUCH of the Help
