PowerDNS

Overview

The powerdns plugin gathers metrics about PowerDNS using unix socket.

Configuration

# Description
[[inputs.powerdns]]
# An array of sockets to gather stats about.
# Specify a path to unix socket.
#
# If no servers are specified, then '/var/run/pdns.controlsocket' is used as the path.
unix_sockets = ["/var/run/pdns.controlsocket"]

Permissions

Agent will need read access to the powerdns control socket.

On many systems this can be accomplished by adding the cua user to the pdns group:

usermod cua -a -G pdns
