This integration parses logs from CoreDNS instances.
This integration is designed to read CoreDNS logs running within a Kubernetes cluster or via systemd with logs output to journald. The CoreDNS datasets were tested with version 1.9.3 and 1.10.0.
The log data stream expects logs from the CoreDNS errors plugin and the log plugin. Query logs from the log plugin can be in either the common or combined format (see log format for details).
An example configuration with logging enabled is:
. {
forward . 8.8.8.8
errors
log
}

If the DO bit is set (DO=1), then the client is DNSSEC-aware, and it is OK for the DNS server to return DNSSEC data in a response. If the DO bit is not set (DO=0), then the client is not DNSSEC-aware, and the DNS server must not include any DNSSEC data in a DNS response. | boolean |
