Preface

This is a fork of the original PowerDNS exporter from https://github.com/ledgr/powerdns_exporter based on the last commit 633ebaa348a20bab3db4339dd6494a1a235aee27.

The original project seems to be abandoned.

This fork removes the depenency for the osbolete Go version 1.5, adds go modules support and replace the github.com/prometheus/common/log module.

The prometheus/common/log module has been deprecated and removed in version 0.27.0 of the Prometheus client library, see https://github.com/prometheus/common/pull/306

The docker image and it's reference has been removed. A seperate docker image will not be provided as it can be easily build if the environment requires it.

PowerDNS Exporter

Periodically scrapes metrics via the PowerDNS HTTP-API and exports them via HTTP/JSON for consumption by Prometheus.

The following PowerDNS products are supported

The api-url flag value should be passed in this format:

• PowerDNS server/recursor 3.x: http:// : /

Installation

Build the binary by running make build. A stripped and, if upx has been found compressed by UPX, binary can be obtained by running make strip.
