DNS Query Input Plugin

The DNS plugin gathers dns query times in miliseconds - like Dig

Configuration:

# Query given DNS server and gives statistics
[[inputs.dns_query]]
  ## servers to query
  servers = ["8.8.8.8"]

  ## Network is the network protocol name.
  # network = "udp"

  ## Domains or subdomains to query.
  # domains = ["."]

  ## Query record type.
  ## Posible values: A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, NS, PTR, TXT, SOA, SPF, SRV.
  # record_type = "A"

  ## Dns server port.
  # port = 53

  ## Query timeout in seconds.
  # timeout = 2

Metrics:

  • dns_query
    • tags:
      • server
      • domain
      • record_type
      • result
      • rcode
    • fields:
      • query_time_ms (float)
      • result_code (int, success = 0, timeout = 1, error = 2)
      • rcode_value (int)

Rcode Descriptions

rcode_value rcode Description

Example Output:

dns_query,domain=google.com,rcode=NOERROR,record_type=A,result=success,server=127.0.0.1 rcode_value=0i,result_code=0i,query_time_ms=0.13746 1550020750001000000
