Usage

Considerations

• Requires Dnsmasq 2.69 or above!
• Tune your dnsmasq_exporter configuration. All configuration is done through environment variables:
  • DNSMASQ_SERVERS: (defaults to 127.0.0.1:53) comma-separated list of <address>:<port> pairs of Dnsmasq servers' addresses
  • EXPORTER_LISTEN_ADDR: (defaults to 127.0.0.1:9153), bind address for dnsmasq_exporter
