Use this dashboard in combination with dhcpmessages_exporter

https://github.com/mrizvic/dhcpmessage_exporter

It listens (pcap) on specific network interfaces for dhcp traffic (bpf filter: udp and port 67) and counts following DHCP messages:

discover
offer
request
ack
nak
inform
release
decline

Stats are available over HTTP in format suitable for prometheus:
