# dns collector
The dns collector exposes metrics about the DNS server
|||
-|-|-
Metric name prefix | `dns` |
Classes | [`Win32_PerfRawData_DNS_DNS`](https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc977686.aspx) |
Enabled by default | Yes |
Metric name prefix (error stats) | `windows_dns` |
Classes | [`MicrosoftDNS_Statistic`](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/dns/dns-wmi-provider-overview) |
Enabled by default (error stats)? | Yes |
## Flags
Name | Description
-----|------------
`collector.dns.enabled` | Comma-separated list of collectors to use. Available collectors: `metrics`, `error_stats`. Defaults to all collectors if not specified.

### Sub-collectors
The DNS collector is split into two sub-collectors:
1. `metrics` - Collects standard DNS performance metrics using PDH (Performance Data Helper)
2. `wmi_stats` - Collects DNS error statistics from the MicrosoftDNS_Statistic WMI class
By default, both sub-collectors are enabled. You can enable specific sub-collectors using the `collector.dns.enabled` flag.
### Example Usage
To enable only DNS error statistics collection:
```powershell
windows_exporter.exe --collector.dns.enabled=wmi_stats
```
To enable only standard DNS metrics:
```powershell
windows_exporter.exe --collector.dns.enabled=metrics
```
To enable both (default behavior):
```powershell
windows_exporter.exe --collector.dns.enabled=metrics,wmi_stats
```
