Hello Zayed,
  I noticed you have already received some answers regarding how to
integrate it to Cacti.
  Regarding the tools to measure DNS performance I usually use two:
resperf and dnsperf, both are from Nominum and can be found here:
https://nominum.com/measurement-tools/
  Some years ago I posted this in Spanish:

probably it can help you:

Regards,

Alejandro,

Hello!
This is my first message to NANOG's mailing list. I hope someone can help
me.

I was wondering which tool(s) can I use to measure the performance of my 3
DNS servers (1 primary, 1 secondary, 1 solely cacheDNS)? From the stats I
would like to know if my DNS server is serving as it should be or if any of
it's options are set inappropriately and others alike.

I looked for a while but could not find any. Any help would be highly
appreciated. I am running bind9 on UNIX platform.

Question 2) I would also like to know how can I graph my DNS logs? And how
can I integrate it to my CACTI server as well? I couldn't find any suitable
plugin. Any suggestion?
