Fix Recommendation

Edit the "named.conf" file.

Add the "print-time" sub statement to the "channel" statement.

Configure the "print-time" sub statement to "yes"

Restart the BIND 9.x process.

Check Contents

For each logging channel that is defined, verify that the "print-time" sub statement is listed.

Inspect the "named.conf" file for the following:

logging {
channel channel_name {
print-time yes;
};
};

If the "print-time" statement is missing, this is a finding.

If the "print-time" statement is not set to "yes", this is a finding.
