Clearing DNS Statistics Without Stopping DNS Server

MORE INFORMATION

The Windows NT 4.0 Resource Kit includes a tool (DNSSTAT) that will accomplish a reset of the statistics without stopping the DNS Server service.

This command-line utility provides a dump of DNS server statistics (queries and responses, database size, caching, memory consumption) on a computer running Microsoft DNS Server.

   dnsstat {servername | IP address} [{-c | /c | -clear | /clear}]
				

Where servername gives a dump of all DNS server statistics on the server named servername.

IP address gives a dump of all DNS server statistics on the server with the IP address indicated.

-c or /c or -clear or /clear will reset clearable DNS statistics on the server indicated.
