Multiple Tags contains an extra value

[uncanny25]

Hi,

In our organization, we use the StatsD client to send metrics to New Relic. We apply multiple tags to our metrics. We noticed unexpected behavior starting with versions after 4.0.0: the first element of our tags array, after calling the StatsD client, always contains an extra randomly generated value resembling a hash. For example, if our tags are: ["name:Daniel", "age:25", "height:170"], they are sent to New Relic in the following modified format: ["name:Daniel | c:a671193653f1cab595c7d55a4ec58efc6edf544aaef87d4fb6b57c270f569f0f", "age:25", "height:170"].

This generated value is always added only to the first element of the tags array. We tested and observed this issue in the following versions:

• 4.4.2
• 4.4.1
• 4.4.0
• 4.3.0
• 4.2.0
• 4.1.0

The solution we found is to temporarily downgrade to the latest stable version, 4.0.0. However, this is only a temporary fix, as future vulnerability issues may arise. It would be ideal to have this issue addressed.

Thanks in advance!

Hi, this extra content is container identifier used for origin detection that was introduced with dogstatsd protocol version v1.2. It can be disabled by calling originDetectionEnabled(false) on the client builder.
