StatsD is one of the easiest ways to send custom application and infrastructure metrics to Dynatrace. Dynatrace OneAgent contains a fully compatible StatsD daemon that implements the StatsD protocol and extends it to allow for multiple metric dimensions.
This is intended for users who want to:
- Leverage existing StatsD integration to extend Dynatrace monitoring capabilities.
This enables you to:
- Leverage any of the 60+ client libraries in various languages to send metrics from your application to Dynatrace and immediately benefit from Dynatrace AI-driven root cause analysis.
- Use Spring Micrometer, Dropwizard, or other metric frameworks that support StatsD at the back end to send metrics from your application to Dynatrace and immediately benefit from Dynatrace AI-driven root cause analysis.
- Use built-in telemetry of open source solutions like Apache Airflow and instantly monitor them with Dynatrace.
Compatibility Requirements:
- OneAgent version 1.201+
Get started
The DynatraceStatsD listener comes with OneAgent version 1.201+. All you need to do is enable DynatraceStatsD metric ingestion at the environment or host level. Note that the host-level configuration overrides the environment configuration.
Follow these steps as described in documentation:
- Enable metric ingestion at the environment level.
- Enable metric ingestion for a single host.
