| max_entries | Specifies the value for the maximum analyzed queries. The range is 1,000 to 10,000. The default is 10,000. |
The default for the timeout period is 1,440 minutes.
The default for the maximum number of entries is 10,000.
If query Q1 is learned at time t1 and the timeout period is configured as 5 minutes, this entry is removed within t1 + 5 minutes.
To manually clear the DNS cache analytics, use the command clear dns cache analytics entries {{vr} vr_name}.
The following example sets the maximum number of entries to 2,000:
# configure dns cache analytics max-entries 2000
