A DogStatsD metric packet.

See the DogStatsD datagram format reference for the wire format and the protocol versions that introduced each field.

Fields

metric_name: &'a str

Name of the metric.

tags: RawTags<'a>

Tags attached to the metric.

values: MetricValues

The metric kind (counter, gauge, rate, etc.) and its sample points.

num_points: u64

Number of sample points represented by values.

timestamp: Option<u64>

Optional Unix timestamp for the sample, in seconds (protocol v1.3).

local_data: Option<&'a str>

Local Data attached to the metric, carried in the c: field (protocol v1.2, extended in v1.4).

Identifies the workload that emitted the metric. Carries a container ID (ci-<id>) or, when unavailable, a cgroup node inode (in-<inode>).

external_data: Option<&'a str>

External Data attached to the metric, carried in the e: field (protocol v1.5).

Used to convey a richer blob of workload identity data resolved by the receiver.

cardinality: Option<OriginTagCardinality>

Cardinality hint for origin tag enrichment, carried in the card: field (protocol v1.6).

Specifies which origin tags the receiver should attach to the metric.

unit: Option<&'static str>

Unit for this metric, if any.
