I use an prometheus exporter maintained by "Let's encrypt" to collect data from Unbound

https://github.com/letsencrypt/unbound_exporter

I that collect the data in Prometheus and do visualisation with grafana.

I've never worked with collectd and graphite, but it might be possible to read the data the prometheus-exporter provides (key/values over http) from collectd and send the data from there to graphite.
