metrics-exporter-dogstatsd is a metrics-compatible exporter that
aggregates metrics and pushes them to a statsd/dogstatsd agent.
A good chunk of this code is taken from the Prometheus exporter with some important changes in behavior.
Compared with other statsd metrics systems like cadence or metrics-exporter-statsd, this crate is fully asynchronous in how it communicates data to the statsd agent via Tokio. This crate also pre-aggregates all of the metrics and communicates them to the agent on an interval limiting the amount of network traffic and system calls.
This crate takes full advantage of atomics and the performance of the metrics crate.
This crate has now (January 2025) been superceded by the upstream version of the crate, maintained by the metrics-rs team. Version 0.8.0 is the last release based on this repository, and users are encouraged to upgrade to 0.9.0 where possible, and file issues upstream if there are any identified gaps.
