DNSBL, or Domain Name System-based Blackhole List, is a mechanism that helps identify and block email messages from known spammers by using a real-time database of blacklisted IP addresses often employed by email servers to filter out unwanted messages and reduce spam.
To monitor DNSBL, Netdata utilizes an openmetrics (Prometheus) exporter. This approach ensures that users can gather comprehensive metrics related to DNSBL effectively. With Netdata, there is no necessity for a dedicated Prometheus server or Grafana setup as Netdata integrates seamlessly with any Prometheus exporter, showcasing automated dashboards, alerts, and in-depth visibility into DNSBL metrics such as domain reputation and security management.
