Product name
BlueCat Integrity
Version
25.1.0

DNS/DHCP Server v25.1.0 introduces enhancements to metrics collected by the system. By default, DNS/DHCP Server collects metrics related to the host system, DNS, DHCP, and notifications. These statistics are used to populate the Data Visualization page within the Address Manager UI.

In addition to the presentation of the metrics in the Data Visualization page, you can configure the DNS/DHCP Server metrics service to expose real-time metrics through an HTTP channel in Prometheus format. The data can then be pulled to an observability platform, such as Grafana.

By default, metrics are exported through following URL: http://<bdds_ip_or_hostname>:10048/metrics

Attention: Address Manager v25.1.0 can only collect metrics from DNS/DHCP Server running software version 25.1.0. If your DNS/DHCP Server is running software versions earlier than 25.1.0, the Visualization page does not display any data and you cannot configure the metrics exporter service.
