Update metrics API endpoint for FedRAMP - StatsD V2 #12

Closed orion-fra closed 3 years ago

orion-fra commented 4 years ago

Currently dimensional metrics are going through CloudFlare and are routed to a Cell. Both of these mechanisms are not FedRAMP approved. For FedRAMP customers there is a special gov-infra-api.newrelic.com domain that doesn't use CloudFlare or cells.

In order to move Infra to dimensional metrics in a FedRAMP approved way, we need to make sure the dimensional metrics capability is following the same approach: going straight to CHI and avoid CloudFlare and cells.

Instead of using the current domain: metric-api.newrelic.com, we will be using infra-api.newrelic.com. For StatsD we need to update the default url.
