Summary
This PR wires DNS observability into the
pdns-authStatefulSet by fronting PDNS withdnsdistand emittingdnstapstreams to two agents:dnstapon :6000, applies its built-in normalizers/latency/suspicious detection, and forwards JSON to Vector.An optional lightweight monitoring stack (Prometheus + Loki + Grafana with dashboards) is provided under
config/monitoringto visualize the metrics/logs.Motivation
We already reconcile
DNSZone/DNSRecordSetinto PDNS via the API, but we need end-to-end visibility of real DNS traffic.The goal is to capture, enrich, and ship
dnstapevents to Telemetry & Observability backends.High-level architecture
