Metrics

Monitor a running dnsmonster instance with stderr, statsd or prometheus metrics.

Every enabled input and output comes with a set of metrics for monitoring performance and troubleshooting a running instance. dnsmonster uses the go-metrics library, which makes it easy to register metrics on the fly and in a modular way.

Three metric outputs are currently supported:

• stderr
• statsd
• prometheus
