# Unbound Input Plugin # Unbound Input Plugin
This plugin gathers stats from [Unbound - a validating, recursive, and caching DNS resolver](https://www.unbound.net/) This plugin gathers stats from [Unbound](https://www.unbound.net/) -
a validating, recursive, and caching DNS resolver.
### Configuration: ### Configuration:
```toml ```toml
# A plugin to collect stats from Unbound - a validating, recursive, and caching DNS resolver # A plugin to collect stats from the Unbound DNS resolver
[[inputs.unbound]] [[inputs.unbound]]
## If running as a restricted user you can prepend sudo for additional access: ## Address of server to connect to, read from unbound conf default, optionally ':port'
#use_sudo = false
## The default location of the unbound-control binary can be overridden with:
binary = "/usr/sbin/unbound-control"
## The default timeout of 1s can be overriden with:
#timeout = "1s"
## Use the builtin fielddrop/fieldpass telegraf filters in order to keep only specific fields
fieldpass = ["total_*", "num_*","time_up", "mem_*"]
## IP of server to connect to, read from unbound conf default, optionally ':port'
## Will lookup IP if given a hostname ## Will lookup IP if given a hostname
server = "127.0.0.1:8953" server = "127.0.0.1:8953"
## Output thread related values in a separate measurement "unbound_threads", with additional tag ## If running as a restricted user you can prepend sudo for additional access:
## "thread" identifying the thread number (0 ... the number of configured threads) # use_sudo = false
## By default, thread related metrics are output as additional fields in measurement "unbound"
## The default location of the unbound-control binary can be overridden with:
# binary = "/usr/sbin/unbound-control"
## The default timeout of 1s can be overriden with:
# timeout = "1s"
## When set to true, thread metrics are tagged with the thread id.
##
## The default is false for backwards compatibility, and will be change to
## true in a future version. It is recommended to set to true on new
## deployments.

### Measurements & Fields: #### Permissions:
This is the full list of stats provided by unbound-control and potentially collected by telegram It's important to note that this plugin references unbound-control, which may require additional permissions to execute successfully.
Depending on the user/group permissions of the telegraf user executing this plugin, you may need to alter the group membership, set facls, or use sudo.
**Group membership (Recommended)**:
```bash
$ groups telegraf
telegraf : telegraf
$ usermod -a -G unbound telegraf
$ groups telegraf
telegraf : telegraf unbound
```
**Sudo privileges**:
If you use this method, you will need the following in your telegraf config:
```toml
[[inputs.unbound]]
use_sudo = true
```
You will also need to update your sudoers file:
```bash
$ visudo
# Add the following line:
telegraf ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/unbound-control
```
Please use the solution you see as most appropriate.
### Metrics:
This is the full list of stats provided by unbound-control and potentially collected
depending of your unbound configuration. Histogram related statistics will never be collected, depending of your unbound configuration. Histogram related statistics will never be collected,
extended statistics can also be imported ("extended-statistics: yes" in unbound configuration). extended statistics can also be imported ("extended-statistics: yes" in unbound configuration).
In the output, the dots in the unbound-control stat name are replaced by underscores(see In the output, the dots in the unbound-control stat name are replaced by underscores(see
