## Description
The example plugin prints "example" on every query received. It serves as documentation for
writing CoreDNS plugins.
## Syntax
~~~ txt
example
~~~
## Metrics
If monitoring is enabled (via the *prometheus* directive) the following metric is exported:
* `coredns_example_request_count_total{server}` - query count to the *example* plugin.
The `server` label indicated which server handled the request, see the *metrics* plugin for details.
## Health
This plugin implements dynamic health checking. It will always return healthy though.
## Examples
In this configuration, we forward all queries to 9.9.9.9 and print "example" whenever we receive
a query.
``` corefile
. {
forward . 9.9.9.9
example
}
```
