# Unbound Input Plugin
This plugin gathers stats from [Unbound](https://www.unbound.net/) -
a validating, recursive, and caching DNS resolver.
### Configuration:
```toml
# A plugin to collect stats from the Unbound DNS resolver
[[inputs.unbound]]
## Address of server to connect to, read from unbound conf default, optionally ':port'
## Will lookup IP if given a hostname
server = "127.0.0.1:8953"
## If running as a restricted user you can prepend sudo for additional access:
# 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"
## When set to true, thread metrics are tagged with the thread id.
##
## The default is false for backwards compatibility, and will be changed to
## true in a future version. It is recommended to set to true on new
## deployments.
thread_as_tag = false
```
#### Permissions:
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:
Cmnd_Alias UNBOUNDCTL = /usr/sbin/unbound-control
telegraf ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: UNBOUNDCTL
Defaults!UNBOUNDCTL !logfile, !syslog, !pam_session
```
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,
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
https://www.unbound.net/documentation/unbound-control.html for details).
Shown metrics are with `thread_as_tag` enabled.
