   • latency-slow
   • latency100-1000
   • latency50-100
   • latency10-50
   • latency1-10
   • latency0-1

2. Cache performance

   • cache-hits
   • cache-misses

3. ACL events

   • acl-drops
   • rule-drop
   • rule-nxdomain
   • rule-refused

4. Noncompliant data

   • empty-queries
   • no-policy
   • noncompliant-queries
   • noncompliant-responses

5. Queries

   • queries
   • rdqueries
   • rdqueries

6. Health

   • downstream-send-errors
   • downstream-timeouts
   • servfail-responses
   • trunc-failures
