A set of Grafana dashboards & Prometheus alerts for CoreDNS.

This mixin is designed to be vendored into the repo with your infrastructure config. To do this, use jsonnet-bundler:

You can manually generate the alerts, dashboards and rules files, but first you must install some tools:

$ go get github.com/jsonnet-bundler/jsonnet-bundler/cmd/jb
$ brew install jsonnet

Then, grab the mixin and its dependencies:

$ git clone https://github.com/povilasv/coredns-mixin
$ cd coredns-mixin
$ jb install

Finally, build the mixin:

$ make prometheus_alerts.yaml
$ make dashboards_out

The prometheus_alerts.yaml file then need to passed to your Prometheus server, and the files in dashboards_out need to be imported into you Grafana server. The exact details will depending on how you deploy your monitoring stack.
