# prometheus
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
This module enables prometheus metrics for CoreDNS.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The default location for the metrics is `localhost:9153`. The metrics path is fixed to `/metrics`.
 | 
						|
The following metrics are exported:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
* coredns_dns_request_count_total{zone, proto, family}
 | 
						|
* coredns_dns_request_duration_milliseconds{zone}
 | 
						|
* coredns_dns_request_size_bytes{zone, proto}
 | 
						|
* coredns_dns_request_do_count_total{zone}
 | 
						|
* coredns_dns_request_type_count_total{zone, type}
 | 
						|
* coredns_dns_response_size_bytes{zone, proto}
 | 
						|
* coredns_dns_response_rcode_count_total{zone, rcode}
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Each counter has a label `zone` which is the zonename used for the request/response.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Extra labels used are:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
* `proto` which holds the transport of the response ("udp" or "tcp")
 | 
						|
* The address family (`family`) of the transport (1 = IP (IP version 4), 2 = IP6 (IP version 6)).
 | 
						|
* `type` which holds the query type. It holds most common types (A, AAAA, MX, SOA, CNAME, PTR, TXT,
 | 
						|
  NS, SRV, DS, DNSKEY, RRSIG, NSEC, NSEC3, IXFR, AXFR and ANY) and "other" which lumps together all
 | 
						|
  other types.
 | 
						|
* The `response_rcode_count_total` has an extra label `rcode` which holds the rcode of the response.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
If monitoring is enabled, queries that do not enter the middleware chain are exported under the fake
 | 
						|
name "dropped" (without a closing dot - this is never a valid domain name).
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Syntax
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
~~~
 | 
						|
prometheus [ADDRESS]
 | 
						|
~~~
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
For each zone that you want to see metrics for.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
It optionally takes an address to which the metrics are exported; the default
 | 
						|
is `localhost:9153`. The metrics path is fixed to `/metrics`.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Examples
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Use an alternative address:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
~~~
 | 
						|
prometheus localhost:9253
 | 
						|
~~~
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
# Bugs
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
When reloading, we keep the handler running, meaning that any changes to the handler's address
 | 
						|
aren't picked up. You'll need to restart CoreDNS for that to happen.
