Metrics

If monitoring is enabled (via the prometheus directive) the following metric is exported:

• coredns_example_request_count_total{server} - query count to the example plugin.

The server label indicated which server handled the request, see the metrics plugin for details.

Ready

This plugin reports readiness to the ready plugin. It will be immediately ready.

Examples

In this configuration, we forward all queries to 9.9.9.9 and print "example" whenever we receive a query.

. {

Types

type Example

type Example struct {
	Next plugin.Handler
}

Example is an example plugin to show how to write a plugin.

func (Example) Name

func (e Example) Name() string

Name implements the Handler interface.

func (Example) Ready

func (e Example) Ready() bool

Ready implements the ready.Readiness interface, once this flips to true CoreDNS assumes this plugin is ready for queries; it is not checked again.

func (Example) ServeDNS

func (e Example) ServeDNS(ctx context.Context, w dns.ResponseWriter, r *dns.Msg) (int, error)

ServeDNS implements the plugin.Handler interface. This method gets called when example is used in a Server.

type ResponsePrinter

type ResponsePrinter struct {
	dns.ResponseWriter
}

ResponsePrinter wrap a dns.ResponseWriter and will write example to standard output when WriteMsg is called.

func NewResponsePrinter

func NewResponsePrinter(w dns.ResponseWriter) *ResponsePrinter

NewResponsePrinter returns ResponseWriter.

func (*ResponsePrinter) WriteMsg

func (r *ResponsePrinter) WriteMsg(res *dns.Msg) error

WriteMsg calls the underlying ResponseWriter's WriteMsg method and prints "example" to standard output.
