I had noticed from a month or so back that the cache hit statistics were steadily declining over time [from high seventies where it had stayed consistently before ... to low sixties] – which did not make sense in a small household where the internet usage patterns are fairly consistent.

Did you notice any slowdowns from request to request?
 
juched said:
sgui just needs log-replies. No need to turn on log-queries for the stats, they are ignored and just fill up the disk.

Thanks for the clarification.

However, I lied about 'sgui' .....it will only auto-enable 'extended-stats: yes' for the non-graphics display cache summary, and does not alter either 'log-replies/log-queries' state.

Regarding the disk being filled, the cron housekeeping job will ensure that the unbound native log file will be reset if it exceeds 10MB.
NOTE: It is possible on a busy system for the unbound native log file to use more than 10MB as the cron job only runs once a day.

but a "PC" makes other DNS request in the background.

Thanks for that - I'm aware that a PC [in this case a laptop running Win10] does make additional DNS requests outside the 30 web pages I was calling up repeatedly. NB - you can see the change between the first and second images in my post above.

The issue is declining cache hit rates for repeating the self same DNS calls - but they should be improving.
Remember only ONE client on this router.

Tricky to tell as I was not timing it - but since then tried again and can't notice much difference in time taken. Unbound is generally super fast anyway. I'm not sure whether it is simply a stats logic thing which changed somewhere along the way in the multitudes of updates which have taken place since inception of the script - or whether cache is not happening as it should.

NB - It was on my RT-AC86U which has had unbound installed since early release of the script [and updated many times since] - that I noticed a decline in cache hits without reboot for 36 days. That's what prompted me to create a test bed to see what was happening in a more controlled environment.

Hello and good day/night to everyone. I have been reading and following unbound for awhile now and since i haven't seen anyone else but L&LD and dave14305 post their modified configuration files for unbound i'm going to include mine if anyone is willing and interested in trying. I must add the developers involved have done a great job making unbound available for our routers. A very big Thank You...

P.S. This configuration is running smooth on my asus rt-ac3200. I also have Diversion and Skynet running aswell. Only two settings upon installation is SGUI and Fastmenu enabled, all others are skipped.

P.S.S. I'm open to opinions about this setup and ways of improving it (if necessary).

So - I setup a factory reset router with my usual amtm add-ons – all fresh installed on a formatted USB – and then monitored unbound cache stats with only a SINGLE client PC attached to the router by Ethernet cable. I went about opening the same web pages [30 of them] repeatedly but clearing the DNS cache on the PC between each of the attempts.

After an initial modest pickup in cache hits – I found that repeated opening of the same web pages caused the cache hit stats to DECLINE ??? See images below ...
This one shows summary stats after a few browser sessions ...
View attachment 23162
This one straight after above with a single push to open those same 30 web pages.
View attachment 23163
Note %tage decline on hits from 35.75 to 30.79 ??

Full graph chart enclosed below ...
View attachment 23164
Any one else noticing a similar trend ???
Click to expand...

similar behaviour I see at me: during the night when nobody is connected, the cache hit goes up and during the day when I am connected (home office) and children are doing learning at home the cache hit is going down (50 to 40). then again - during the night back to 50. during the night are connected mostly phones only.
thru day we are visiting near the same set of pages every day...

I have an RT-AC3200 and no hiccups here. Let me know if you think anything needs adjusting.

Hmm, do you by chance have DNS firewall running? I also noticed you have this setting :
[✖] Warning WAN: Use local caching DNS server as system resolver=YES.
Don't know why your unbound has stopped but i have this same config running on atleast 5 other routers.

Edit: I can reproduce the error and it has to do with logging. If i enable logging (lo) unbound dies, then i restart unbound and disable logging (lx) everything remains stable. Not sure what's going on with the logging. I'm personally going to disable logging for now.

Edit#2: Just ran sgui to see incase of an update, enabled logging and all is good.

i am using logging on AX88u and never had problem with unbound like this ...
 
joe scian said:
That is not correct at all - a successful installation of Unbound overrides this setting. When Unbound is stopped either accidentally or commanded then this setting will allow successful resolving to your ISP's DNS servers. The problem with MartinDEE is presumably tied to the fact that his NTP server is non functional and NTP is not synced. Fix that first before you look further.
Install NTPMerlin using amtm and hopefully that will fix your NTP issue.

Thank you will try this tonight and will get back to you

So I rebooted, and decided to retest.

So I manually enforce logging by using 'vx' ; then I use 'rs' to restart unbound.

I leave everything for 10 mins, and all looks good, so I use 'l' to watch the log - again all looks good for 10 mins.

However, when I CTRL-C to terminate the log watch ...guess what... unbound suddenly goes AWOL.:confused:

Strange...until I notice you have included !!!!??? :eek::eek::rolleyes::rolleyes:
Code: 
do-daemonize: no
then it all clicked.

For anyone running Unbound and Adoptive QoS + FreshJR. I have added a rule for Unbound router IP with Port 53535 and assigned it to Web Surfing Class. That made a noticeable difference in streaming (SmartTV) and browsing. My guess is that the default for DNS traffic was assigned to Net Control with lower priority. Try it out.

53535 is only used on the loopback address 127.0.0.1, so it should not be subject to any QoS at all. Outbound traffic from the router on port 53 is already whitelisted in the built-in FreshJR rules in the OUTPUT chain.
 
I've uploaded v3.09

Version=3.09
Github md5=4bd9b8ad9059d14720c72952752cc67d​

use 'u' to update when prompted on screen

Use of the 'i = Update unbound Installation' **Not required**

Code: 
FIX:    Always explicitly DISABLE the default 'verbosity: 1' logging after the unbound install (if not requested/desired)
        Basically the 'verbosity:' directive is now always uncommented in 'unbound.conf' and explicitly set to either '0' or '1' (or the user specified log-level)
FIX:    Command line 'config=' does not validate full pathname
CHANGE: Command line 'recovery' directive to accommodate above changes, and improve the recovery process to disable addons.
CHANGE: Correct/remove redundant variables and reorder menu selection items to ensure 'generics' do not pre-empt specific commands
CHANGE: Advanced menu 'lo [log_level]' now optionally allows setting the desired increased logging level (2-5), and the current log level is now displayed on screen and in the log.
e.g. set logging level '3' (debug but dumps this line....'cache memory msg=125423 rrset=520300 infra=88944 val=45913' at regular intervals - as previously stated could be another useful graphical trending metric?)

Should unbound restart automatically after a reboot? (Does it depend on ntpd being at the correct time)

Edit: As I’m having to start it up manually at times even after waiting 10 mins for the router to settle

similar behaviour I see at me: during the night when nobody is connected, the cache hit goes up and during the day when I am connected (home office) and children are doing learning at home the cache hit is going down (50 to 40). then again - during the night back to 50. during the night are connected mostly phones only.
thru day we are visiting near the same set of pages every day...
Click to expand...

OK - so it sounds like cache hit levels no longer in the upper seventies - as they were when unbound first made available.
If cache hits are now regularly in the 40 to 50 % mark ... some logic must have changed in the stats being presented.

I will chill out and simply dump the webui stats page - really no point tracking if cache hits relatively insignificant.
thnx.
 
Installed the 3.09 update, which appears to be working fine, though see the following when loading from amtm or through the console directly:
