# DNS Query Input Plugin
The DNS plugin gathers dns query times in miliseconds - like [Dig](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dig_\(command\))
### Configuration:
```
# Sample Config:
[[inputs.dns_query]]
### servers to query
servers = ["8.8.8.8"] # required
### Domains or subdomains to query. "."(root) is default
domains = ["mjasion.pl"] #optional
### Query record type. Posible values: A, AAAA, ANY, CNAME, MX, NS, PTR, SOA, SPF, SRV, TXT. Default is "NS"
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]]
domains = ["mjasion.pl"]
servers = ["8.8.8.8", "8.8.4.4"]
recordType = "A"
[[inputs.dns_query]]
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_query,domain=mjasion.pl,record_type=A,server=8.8.8.8 query_time_ms=67.189842 1456082743585760680
