To filter DNS traffic, you can use various observability tools and techniques discussed in the WWDC sessions. Here are some relevant points and sessions that might help you:

  1. Observability in Swift on Server:

    • The session "Explore the Swift on Server ecosystem" discusses adding observability to your services, which includes logging, metrics, and tracing. These tools can help you understand and filter specific types of traffic, such as DNS traffic.
    • You can use SwiftLog for structured logging, which allows you to add metadata to log messages, making it easier to filter and troubleshoot specific types of traffic.

  2. Using CloudKit Console:

    • The session "Use CloudKit Console to monitor and optimize database activity" covers how to use telemetry and logging to monitor your app's interactions with CloudKit. While this is specific to CloudKit, the principles of using logs and telemetry to filter and analyze traffic can be applied to DNS traffic as well.
    • You can customize table views and add specific columns to compare values between events, which can help in filtering DNS traffic.

  3. Effective Debugging in LLDB:

    • The session "Run, Break, Inspect: Explore effective debugging in LLDB" discusses techniques for handling high-firing breakpoints and using conditions to filter interesting cases from the noise. This can be useful if you are debugging DNS traffic and need to filter specific conditions.
