Can be possible to change dd-agent port? #5

I can try use 80 or 443 for send metrics from another heroku app.

The buildpack is meant to be run inside a dyno, alongside the application.

Can you describe why you'd want to run this alone? We had not designed this to be a aggregator from multiple external sources - one reason is that if we open the listener to port 80/433, anyone could submit metrics to your endpoint and account.

I can replace Hosted Graphite with Datadog and integration with Heroku is hard. Hosted graphite have possibility send statsd directly to service but Datadog not.

I'm going to close out this issue, as the intent of this buildpack is to enable a locally running statsd agent that forwards packets along from the locally running application, not as a relay-only process - this has other implications around application security, app name traceability and others that I cannot think of right now.

This buildback was designed to be simple to start using - add to your current app's buildpacks and then redeploy. If that's not working out, please let me know.
