# 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 ## Will lookup IP if given a hostname
server = "127.0.0.1:8953"
## The default location of the unbound-control binary can be overridden with: ## If running as a restricted user you can prepend sudo for additional access:
binary = "/usr/sbin/unbound-control" # use_sudo = false
## The default timeout of 1s can be overriden with: ## The default location of the unbound-control binary can be overridden with:
#timeout = "1s" # binary = "/usr/sbin/unbound-control"
## Use the builtin fielddrop/fieldpass telegraf filters in order to keep only specific fields ## The default timeout of 1s can be overriden with:
fieldpass = ["total_*", "num_*","time_up", "mem_*"] # timeout = "1s"
## IP of server to connect to, read from unbound conf default, optionally ':port' ## When set to true, thread metrics are tagged with the thread id.
## Will lookup IP if given a hostname ##
server = "127.0.0.1:8953" ## 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
## Output thread related values in a separate measurement "unbound_threads", with additional tag ## deployments.

depending of your unbound configuration. Histogram related statistics will never be collected, 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:

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).
