Example doesn't print anything

[rstupek]

Example plugin does not print anything using provided Corefile

.:1053 {
example
log
forward . 8.8.8.8
}

Sample output:
CoreDNS-1.11.1
linux/amd64, go1.20.12, 945db2fa-dirty
[INFO] 127.0.0.1:45207 - 6605 "A IN google.com. udp 39 false 4096" NOERROR qr,rd,ra 195 0.002194196s

Also a new plugin created using the instructions provided for creating plugins similarly does not print anything

I have tried moving the example plugin around in the corefile with no differences viewed.

I'm experiencing the same thing. When I try to do a lookup I'm not seeing the output even if I add debug to my Corefile.

I've successfully implemented a plugin with logging. Can you try increasing the position of your plugin inside of plugin.cfg? If you place it below cache:cache this should allow it to print properly. As the comment says, the order is important.

It's exactly the ordering in either plugin.cfg or in the way you reconstruct the dnsserver.Directives.

If you have

// plugin.cfg
...
example:github.com/coredns/example
forward:github.com/coredns/forward
...

And example handles the request and returns a response, the forward will never see the request.
