# DNS Query Input Plugin
2016-02-13 18:00:42 +00:00
The DNS plugin gathers dns query times in miliseconds - like [Dig](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dig_\(command\))
### Configuration:
```
# Sample Config:
[[inputs.dns_query]]
2016-02-13 18:00:42 +00:00
### Domains or subdomains to query
domains = ["mjasion.pl"] # required
### servers to query
servers = ["8.8.8.8"] # required
### Query record type. Posible values: A, CNAME, MX, TXT, NS. Default is "A"
recordType = "A" # optional
### Dns server port. 53 is default
port = 53 # optional
### Query timeout in seconds. Default is 2 seconds
timeout = 2 # optional
```
For querying more than one record type make:
```
[[inputs.dns_query]]
2016-02-13 18:00:42 +00:00
domains = ["mjasion.pl"]
servers = ["8.8.8.8", "8.8.4.4"]
recordType = "A"
[[inputs.dns_query]]
2016-02-13 18:00:42 +00:00
domains = ["mjasion.pl"]
servers = ["8.8.8.8", "8.8.4.4"]
recordType = "MX"
```
### Tags:
- server
- domain
- recordType
### Example output:
```
./telegraf -config telegraf.conf -test -input-filter dns_query -test
> dns,domain=mjasion.pl,record_type=A,server=8.8.8.8 query_time_ms=36.327025 1455548824989943491
2016-02-13 18:00:42 +00:00
