DNS log records do not have total_answers, total_queries, saw_reply and saw_query fields

Hi,

I am running Bro/Zeek v 2.6.1.
The fields logged in DNS logs are different from the ones shown in official docs (DNS::Info seen at https://docs.zeek.org/en/stable/scripts/base/protocols/dns/main.bro.html#type-DNS::Info). Concretely, the last four fields (total_answers, total_queries, saw_query and saw_reply) fields are never part of the logs. This behaviour was seen in previous versions of Bro/Zeek as well (atleast from v.2.4).

I looked at the dns/main.bro script and can’t figure out why this is happening. Any ideas are greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Dheeraj

The logs contain only fields with the &log attribute. Those fields do
not have &log, so they are not in the logs.
