Send metrics with DogStatsD tags

Send request metrics with DogStatsD-style tags instead of putting the entity in the metric name. Each metric carries the route, node, status, and service tags, for example kong.request.count:1|c|#route:<route>,status:200.

Prerequisites

  • A StatsD server or agent that supports DogStatsD tags, reachable from the data plane

Environment variables

  • HOST: The IP address or hostname of the StatsD server or agent to send data to.
