Prometheus Unbound exporter

Please note: This repository is currently unmaintained. Due to insufficient time and not using the exporter anymore we decided to archive this project.


This repository provides code for a simple Prometheus metrics exporter for the Unbound DNS resolver. This exporter connects to Unbounds TLS control socket and sends the stats_noreset command, causing Unbound to return metrics as key-value pairs. The metrics exporter converts Unbound metric names to Prometheus metric names and labels by using a set of regular expressions.
