Self-contained Zabbix template to get information about PowerDNS dnsdist.
This is a self-contained Zabbix template. It uses the Built-in webserver to gather the statistics and creates over 50 Items.
The built-in webserver on the dnsdist have to be activated, to access the required information.
webserver("127.0.0.1:8083", "supersecretpassword", "supersecretAPIkey")
Make sure to change supersecretpassword and supersecretAPIkey to some random values!
Assign the template to your host and configure the macros {$PDNS.DNSDIST.APIKEY} {$PDNS.DNSDIST.WEBSERVER.IP} and {$PDNS.DNSDIST.WEBSERVER.PORT} according to your setup.
To match the example from above:
{$PDNS.DNSDIST.APIKEY} supersecretAPIkey
{$PDNS.DNSDIST.WEBSERVER.IP} 127.0.0.1
{$PDNS.DNSDIST.WEBSERVER.PORT} 8083
