Hi guys,

We would like to use bind exporter to monitor DNS server with bind exporter.

But which metrics does bind exporter expose exactly?

I think you will have to check their documentation for details.

https://github.com/prometheus-community/bind_exporter

Thank you. But sorry that I cannot find all the metrics from the document.

curl http://127.0.0.1:<port>/metrics

will show you. Otherwise there is the source code, also here. You can see which bind resources it queries:

// ServerPath is the HTTP path of the v3 server resource.
ServerPath = "/xml/v3/server"
// StatusPath is the HTTP path of the v3 status resource.
StatusPath = "/xml/v3/status"
// TasksPath is the HTTP path of the v3 tasks resource.
TasksPath = "/xml/v3/tasks"
// ZonesPath is the HTTP path of the v3 zones resource.
ZonesPath = "/xml/v3/zones"

Given that, you can then look at the bind9 documentation to see what all the counters mean.
