Unbound Input Plugin

This plugin gathers stats from Unbound - a validating, recursive, and caching DNS resolver.

Configuration:
# A plugin to collect stats from the Unbound DNS resolver
[[inputs.unbound]]
  ## Address of server to connect to, read from unbound conf default, optionally ':port'
  ## Will lookup IP if given a hostname
  server = "127.0.0.1:8953"

  ## If running as a restricted user you can prepend sudo for additional access:
  # use_sudo = false

  ## The default location of the unbound-control binary can be overridden with:
  # binary = "/usr/sbin/unbound-control"

  ## The default location of the unbound config file can be overridden with:
  # config_file = "/etc/unbound/unbound.conf"

  ## The default timeout of 1s can be overridden with:
  # timeout = "1s"

  ## When set to true, thread metrics are tagged with the thread id.
  ##
  ## The default is false for backwards compatibility, and will be changed to
  ## true in a future version.  It is recommended to set to true on new
  ## deployments.
  thread_as_tag = false
Permissions:

It's important to note that this plugin references unbound-control, which may require additional permissions to execute successfully. Depending on the user/group permissions of the telegraf user executing this plugin, you may need to alter the group membership, set facls, or use sudo.

Group membership (Recommended):

$ groups telegraf
telegraf : telegraf

$ usermod -a -G unbound telegraf

$ groups telegraf
telegraf : telegraf unbound

Sudo privileges: If you use this method, you will need the following in your telegraf config:

[[inputs.unbound]]
  use_sudo = true

You will also need to update your sudoers file:

$ visudo
# Add the following line:
Cmnd_Alias UNBOUNDCTL = /usr/sbin/unbound-control
telegraf  ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: UNBOUNDCTL
Defaults!UNBOUNDCTL !logfile, !syslog, !pam_session

Please use the solution you see as most appropriate.

Metrics:

This is the full list of stats provided by unbound-control and potentially collected depending of your unbound configuration. Histogram related statistics will never be collected, extended statistics can also be imported ("extended-statistics: yes" in unbound configuration). In the output, the dots in the unbound-control stat name are replaced by underscores(see https://www.unbound.net/documentation/unbound-control.html for details).

Shown metrics are with thread_as_tag enabled.
