To confirm: that's the tool here --> 
https://github.com/dnstap/golang-dnstap/tree/master/dnstap

Correct? No?

I can get hackerish and give you options for reading from that socket 
/tmp/dnstap.sock to make sure it's actually spitting out data (have you 
confirmed that? how?).

I don't understand the reference to /var/log/messages, can you explain?

I would offer you dnstap2json.py from
https://github.com/m3047/shodohflo/tree/master/examples

At least I have a README.md
