Short description

support for statsd as a destination for the dnsdist metrics

Usecase

We use datadog to collect metrics in a containerized environment on AWS ECS. Prometheus and SNMP require the datadog agent to be configured to scrape the metrics, which is hard to do in our dynamic environment.

The carbon exporter would fit our need as we can configure dnsdist to sent the data, but support for the carbon format in the datadog agent is not documented.

Description

Add a statsd metrics exporter akin to the carbon exporter.

I wanted to update the PDF recursor to 4.8.X (stable), but accidentally updated it to PowerDNS Recursor - version 4.7.X (critical fixes only), and my previously working recursor stopped working, could this be the reason?
