Summary

Update the statsd client configuration to do in-process aggregation.

Motivation

Currently, the statsd client sends out a UDP packet for every emitted metric, which can be resource-intensive. Doing aggregation in-process, and then emitting aggregated values should reduce the network resource usage of the binary.
