Allow use of DD_TAGS environment variable for constant tags #702

Open nrmitchi opened 2 years ago

nrmitchi commented 2 years ago

DD_TAGS is the common environment variable used for constant tagging in other datadog services (such as APM), and is what is referenced in most documentation.

This library uses DATADOG_TAGS, and does not support DD_TAGS.

Documentation for assigning tags references DD_TAGS, but does not mention DATADOG_TAGS.

Expected behavior Constant tagging for metrics created should utilize the same environment values as other datadog services.

We shouldn't have to specify multiple environment variables with the same values.
