## What it is
A Prometheus exporter written in Go that collects metrics from a Pi-hole ad-blocking instance and exposes them for scraping. It ships with ready-made Grafana dashboards and is available as a binary or Docker image.

## Use cases
- monitor pi-hole query and blocking statistics in prometheus
- build a grafana dashboard for my pi-hole dns metrics
- export pi-hole stats to prometheus
- track ads blocked by my raspberry pi ad blocker
- alert on pi-hole availability via prometheus

## When to choose
- you run pi-hole and want its metrics in prometheus/grafana
- you need a lightweight dockerized exporter for home network monitoring

## When to avoid
- you don't use pi-hole or prometheus
- you need metrics for other DNS blockers like AdGuard Home

## Facets
- artifact type: service
- maturity: active
- function: monitoring
- domain: monitoring, self-hosted, networking
- platform: go, cross-platform
- tags: prometheus-exporter, pi-hole, grafana, raspberry-pi, ad-blocking, linux, docker
