DNSCrypt overview
Shows dnscrypt-proxy's query_log in a nice graphical way by parsing its content with mtail.
# How to use
* Download and install [mtail](https://github.com/google/mtail)
* Configure  [DNSCrypt-proxy](https://github.com/DNSCrypt/dnscrypt-proxy) daemon running to generate the `query_log` in `ltsv` format
* Save the content of the following mtail "program" to a text file
```
# mail "program" for DNSCrypt's query log (in ltsv format)
#
# Sample line:
#  time:1608044190 host:127.0.0.1  message:www.ripe.net    type:A  return:PASS                                                                       cached:0        duration:1      server:faelix-ch-ipv4

counter queries_total
counter queries by host, type, return, cached, server

# Binning should be adapted to the latency (in ms) you have with your DNSCrypt s                                                                  ervers
histogram queries_duration_ms buckets 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256 by return                                                                  , server, type

  queries_total++
  queries[$host][$type][$return][$cached][$server]++

  # Only consider non-cached results for histograms
  $cached == 0 {
     queries_duration_ms[$return][$server][$type] = $duration
  }
}
```

 * Start `mtail` either via your preferred mean (See https://github.com/google/mtail/blob/master/docs/Deploying.md)
 * Point your prometheus installation to the `mtail` endpoint
 * Import this dashboard in your grafana instance
