TrackDNS is a performance monitoring tool for top DNS servers. It measures the response times of various DNS servers and stores the results in a database for further analysis. The tool supports multithreading for efficient processing and periodic updates for database persistence and display.
Measure DNS server performance for popular domains. Multithreaded processing using Boost Asio. Configurable query frequency and update intervals. Results are persisted in a MySQL database. Graceful shutdown with proper resource cleanup. Sorting and displaying domain performance metrics. Requirements
Boost: Used for asynchronous I/O, threading, and signal handling. LDNS: For DNS querying. MySQL++: For interacting with the MySQL database. System A C++ compiler supporting C++11 or later. A MySQL database server. Installation
Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/yourusername/TrackDNS.git
cd TrackDNS
Install dependencies:
On Ubuntu:
sudo apt-get install libboost-all-dev libldns-dev libmysql++-dev
On macOS (using Homebrew):
brew install boost ldns mysql++
Compile the project:
make
Usage
Run the program with the following options:
./TrackDNS [options]
Command-Line Options
Option Description Default
--help Show help message.
--frequency, -f Number of queries per second. 20
--database, -d Name of the database. TrackDNS
--host, -h Hostname of the database server. 127.0.0.1
--username, -u Database username. root
--password, -p Database password. password
--threads, -t Number of threads in the thread pool. 20
--refresh, -r Frequency of database/display updates per second. 1
Run TrackDNS with a query frequency of 50 queries per second:
./TrackDNS -f 50 -d TrackDNS -u admin -p secretpassword
Domain Initialization: A list of popular domains is initialized. Database Connection: Connect to the MySQL database. Asynchronous Processing: Use Boost Asio for scheduling periodic tasks. DNS Queries: Send DNS queries and update domain metrics. Results Persistence: Save results to the database periodically. Sorting and Display: Sort domains by performance and display metrics. Graceful Shutdown
The application handles termination signals (SIGINT, SIGTERM) to stop processing and persist the final results before exiting.

Check top DNS servers performance
TrackDNS, measures top DNS servers performance:
--help Help
-f [ --frequency ] arg (=20) Frequency, number of queries per second
-d [ --database ] arg (=TrackDNS) Database name
-h [ --host ] arg (=127.0.0.1) Database host name
-u [ --username ] arg (=root) Database username
-p [ --password ] arg (=password) Database password
-t [ --threads ] arg (=20) Number of threads for the thread pool
-r [ --refresh ] arg (=1) Frequency of database and display update
per second
example: ./TrackDNS -f 10 -d TrackDNS -h 127.0.0.1 -u root -p password| DNS | Current | Last TS | First TS | Count | Average | Deviation |
