## Configuration

Edit the `python.d/powerdns.conf` configuration file using `edit-config` from the Netdata [config
directory](/docs/configure/nodes.md), which is typically at `/etc/netdata`.

```bash
cd /etc/netdata   # Replace this path with your Netdata config directory, if different
sudo ./edit-config python.d/powerdns.conf
```

```yaml
local:
  name     : 'local'
  url     : 'http://127.0.0.1:8081/api/v1/servers/localhost/statistics'
  header   :
    X-API-Key: 'change_me'
```
