+Dnstap (traffic collection)
+===========================
+
+The ``dnstap`` module supports logging DNS requests and responses to a unix
+socket in `dnstap format <https://dnstap.info>`_ using fstrm framing library.
+This logging is useful if you need effectivelly log all DNS traffic.
+
+The unix socket and the socket reader must be present before starting resolver instances.
+
+Tunables:
+
+* ``socket_path``: the unix socket file where dnstap messages will be sent
+* ``identity``: identity string as typically returned by an "NSID" (RFC 5001) query, empty by default
+* ``version``: version string of the resolver, defaulting to "Knot Resolver major.minor.patch"
+* ``client.log_queries``: if ``true`` queries from downstream in wire format will be logged
+* ``client.log_responses``: if ``true`` responses to downstream in wire format will be logged
