# WHOIS Input Plugin
|
|
|
|
This plugin queries [WHOIS information](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc3912) for configured domains and
|
|
provides metrics such as expiration timestamps, registrar details and domain
|
|
status from e.g. [IANA](https://www.iana.org/whois) or [ICANN](https://lookup.icann.org/) servers.
|
|
|
|
**Introduced in:** Telegraf v1.35.0
|
|
**Tags:** network, web
|
|
**OS support:** all
|
|
|
|
[whois]: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc3912
|
|
[icann]: https://lookup.icann.org/
|
|
[iana]: https://www.iana.org/whois
|

|
## Global configuration options <!-- @/docs/includes/plugin_config.md -->
|
|
|
|
In addition to the plugin-specific configuration settings, plugins support
|
|
additional global and plugin configuration settings. These settings are used to
|
|
modify metrics, tags, and field or create aliases and configure ordering, etc.
|
|
See the [CONFIGURATION.md](/telegraf/v1/configuration/#plugins) for more details.
|
|
|
|
[CONFIGURATION.md]: ../../../docs/CONFIGURATION.md#plugins
|
|
|
|
## Configuration
|
|
|
|
```toml @sample.conf
|
|
# Reads whois data and expose as metrics
|
|
[[inputs.whois]]
|
|
## List of domains to query
|
|
domains = ["example.com", "influxdata.com"]
|
|
|
|
## Use Custom WHOIS server
|
|
# server = "whois.iana.org"
|
|
|
|
## Timeout for WHOIS queries
|
|
# timeout = "30s"
|
|
|
|
## Enable WHOIS referral chain query
|
|
# referral_chain_query = false
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Metrics
|
|
|
|
- whois
|
|
- tags:
|
|
- domain
|
|
- status (string)
|
|
- fields:
|
|
- creation_timestamp (int, seconds)
|
|
- dnssec_enabled (bool)
|
|
- error (string)
|
|
- expiration_timestamp (int, seconds)
|
|
- expiry (int, seconds) - Remaining time until the domain expires, in seconds.
|
|
This value can be **negative** if the domain is already expired.
|
|
`SELECT (expiry / 60 / 60 / 24) as "expiry_in_days"`
|
|
- registrar (string)
|
|
- registrant (string)
|
|
- updated_timestamp (int, seconds)
|
|
|
|
