* plugin/health: remove ability to poll other plugins This mechanism defeats the purpose any plugin (mostly) caching can still be alive, we can probably forward queries still. Don't poll plugins, just tell the world we're up and running. It was only actually used in kubernetes; and there specifically would mean any network hiccup would NACK the entire server health.

# erratic
|
|
|
|
## Name
|
|
|
|
*erratic* - a plugin useful for testing client behavior.
|
|
|
|
## Description
|
|
|
|
*erratic* returns a static response to all queries, but the responses can be delayed, dropped or truncated.
|
|
The *erratic* plugin will respond to every A or AAAA query. For any other type it will return
|
|
a SERVFAIL response. The reply for A will return 192.0.2.53 (see [RFC
|
|
5737](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5737),
|
|
for AAAA it returns 2001:DB8::53 (see [RFC 3849](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3849)) and for an
|
|
AXFR request it will respond with a small zone transfer.
|
|
|
|
*erratic* can also be used in conjunction with the *autopath* plugin. This is mostly to aid in
|
|
testing.
|
|
|
|
## Syntax
|
|
|
|
~~~ txt
|
|
erratic {
|
|
drop [AMOUNT]
|
|
truncate [AMOUNT]
|
|
delay [AMOUNT [DURATION]]
|
|
}
|
|
~~~
|
|
|
|
* `drop`: drop 1 per **AMOUNT** of queries, the default is 2.
|
|
* `truncate`: truncate 1 per **AMOUNT** of queries, the default is 2.
|
|
* `delay`: delay 1 per **AMOUNT** of queries for **DURATION**, the default for **AMOUNT** is 2 and
|
|
the default for **DURATION** is 100ms.
|
|
|
|
In case of a zone transfer and truncate the final SOA record *isn't* added to the response.
|
|
|
