# DNSDog

DNSDog is a small utility for generating metrics for DNS queries and replies and sending them to statsd. It's functionally similar to the [DNS plugin for collectd](https://collectd.org/wiki/index.php/Plugin:DNS) but optimized for datadog.

## Installation

Grab the latest release from [here](https://github.com/remind101/dnsdog/releases).

## Usage

Start watching for DNS packets on `eth0` and send them to statsd:

```

$ dnsdog -iface eth0 -statsd "127.0.0.1:8125"

```

## Metrics

DNSDog generates the following metrics and tags:

```

dns.query{op_code}

dns.question{op_code,query,query_type}

dns.reply{response_code}

dns.reply.question{response_code,query,query_type}

dns.answer{response_code,query,query_type}

dns.reply.time{response_code}

```
