While it's a bit more complicated to set up correctly, it is recommended
that you use a UNIX socket as it provides far better performance.
+### Troubleshooting
+
+If you've configured the module and can't get it to work, make sure and
+check all of the following:
+
+* If you're using autodetection, double check that your `unbound.conf`
+ file is actually using spaces instead of tabs, and that appropriate
+ indentation is present. Most Linux distributions ship a default config
+ for Unbound that uses tabs, and the plugin can't read such a config file
+ correctly. Also, make sure this file is actually readable by Netdata.
+* Ensure that the control protocol is actually configured correctly.
+ You can check this quickly by running `unbound-control stats_noreset`
+ as root, which should print out a bunch of info about the internal
+ statistics of the server. If this returns an error, you don't have
+ the control protocol set up correctly.
+* If using the regular control interface, make sure that the certificate
+ and key file you have configured in `unbound.conf` are readable by
+ Netdata. In general, it's preferred to use ACL's on the files to
+ provide the required permissions.
+* If using a UNIX socket, make sure that the socket is both readable
+ _and_ writable by Netdata. Just like with the regular control
+ interface, it's preferred to use ACL's to provide these permissions.
+* Make sure that SELinux, Apparmor, or any other mandatory access control
+ system isn't interfering with the access requirements mentioned above.
+ In some cases, you may have to add a local rule to allow this access.
