The millisecond resolution of our log timestamps is too coarse to order events that happen inside the same millisecond, which is exactly what one needs when chasing down a timing problem. Instead of adding yet another config option for this, we reuse `debug.extra`, the flag that already exists for temporary investigations: when it is enabled, `get_timestr()` prints six instead of three fractional digits. ``` 2026-08-06 08:01:40.086 CEST [12345M] INFO: ... (default) 2026-08-06 08:01:40.086300 CEST [12345M] INFO: ... (debug.extra = true) ``` This covers every timestamped log line (FTL.log, webserver.log and stdout) as they all go through `get_timestr()`. The default output is unchanged.

Network-wide ad blocking via your own Linux hardware
FTLDNS (pihole-FTL) provides an interactive API and also generates statistics for Pi-hole®'s Web interface.
- Fast: stats are read directly from memory by coupling our codebase closely with
dnsmasq - Versatile: upstream changes to
dnsmasqcan quickly be merged in without much conflict - Lightweight: runs smoothly with minimal hardware and software requirements such as Raspberry Pi Zero
- Interactive: our API can be used to interface with your projects
- Insightful: stats normally reserved inside of
dnsmasqare made available so you can see what's really happening on your network
Official documentation
The official FTLDNS documentation can be found here.
Installation
FTLDNS (pihole-FTL) is automatically installed when installing Pi-hole.
IMPORTANT
FTLDNS will disable any existing installations of
dnsmasq. This is because FTLDNS isdnsmasq+ Pi-hole's code, so both cannot run simultaneously.
