Right.

I have all information in syslog.
dhclient: DHCPDISCOVER on wlan0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 21
dhclient: DHCPREQUEST of X.X.X.X on wlan0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67
dhclient: DHCPOFFER of X.X.X.X from X.X.X.X
dhclient: DHCPACK of X.X.X.X from X.X.X.X
dhclient: bound to X.X.X.X -- renewal in X seconds.
NetworkManager[1977]: <info> (wlan0): DHCPv4 state changed preinit -> bound
NetworkManager[1977]: <info> address X.X.X.X
NetworkManager[1977]: <info> prefix X (X.X.X.X)
NetworkManager[1977]: <info> gateway X.X.X.X
NetworkManager[1977]: <info> nameserver 'X.X.X.X'
NetworkManager[1977]: <info> domain name 'X'
NetworkManager[1977]: <info> Activation (wlan0) Stage 5 of 5 (IPv4 Configure Commit) scheduled...
NetworkManager[1977]: <info> Activation (wlan0) Stage 5 of 5 (IPv4 Commit) started...
NetworkManager[1977]: <info> (wlan0): writing resolv.conf to /sbin/resolvconf
dnsmasq[4160]: setting upstream servers from DBus
dnsmasq[4160]: using nameserver X.X.X.X#53
So when NetworkManager via dbus reconfigure list of nameservers then
dnsmasq logs them into syslog.
