Feature Request
telegraf's statsd input plugin supports datadog statsd format with parse_data_dog_tags=true flag.
This is a great feature which allows using telegraf as a drop-in replacement for DataDog's agent.
Unfortunately, it does not support Distributions metric type.
Proposal:
Add support for distributions type of metrics to provide full compatibility with DataDog's statsd (DogStatsD).
Current behavior:
When sending distributions metrics to telegraf, the metrics are dropped generating the following error in the logs:
Aug 10 08:55:44 mytest-i-02d65c1fc7f587007.sonic-us telegraf[3719]: 2020-08-10T08:55:44Z E! [inputs.statsd] Metric type "d" unsupported
Desired behavior:
Same behaviour as in DogStatsD, ideally implemented the same way to provide identical behaviour. That is, send all raw data collected during the flush interval to the output like DogStatsD does.
Use case:
Seamless migration from DataDog.
