[Pdns-users] resource-limits metrics

Hi,

while going over the list of prometheus metrics available in PowerDNS 
Recursor I found this one:


> resource-limits
>
> counts number of queries that could not be performed because of resource limits
https://docs.powerdns.com/recursor/metrics.html#resource-limits

I guess if this value is increasing regularly it is a sign of issues. 
What kind of resource limits are hit when this counter increases?
Are there other metrics that allow further understanding the possible 
root causes?


thanks,
Christoph
