Recreating a new ticket for existing closed ticket #11525
Hi,
The current Datadog output seems to take an API URL as a parameter to send metrics only. By default it is set to https://app.datadoghq.com/api/v1/series
, which is for submitting metrics only of type "", "count", "gauge", and "rate".
To send distributions, we need to use https://api.datadoghq.com/api/v1/distribution_points
with type "distribution".
The plugin would need to be extended to:
telegraf.Histogram
This would be a change in behavior as the current as it does not look like we explicitly omit histograms today unless they error out during metric building?
Would be happy to see a PR to take this on, but need to ensure it is a) opt-in and b) tested and covered by unit tests.
Use Case
Looking for Datadog output plugin to support distribution metric type.
Expected behavior
