Metrics

The metrics endpoint allows you to:

Post metrics data so it can be graphed on Datadog’s dashboards
Query metrics from any time period
Modify tag configurations for metrics
View tags and volumes for metrics

Note: A graph can only contain a set number of points and as the timeframe over which a metric is viewed increases, aggregation between points occurs to stay below that set number.

The Post, Patch, and Delete manage_tags API methods can only be performed by a user who has the Manage Tags for Metrics permission.

Create a tag configuration

v2 (latest)

POST https://api.ap1.datadoghq.com/api/v2/metrics/{metric_name}/tagshttps://api.datadoghq.eu/api/v2/metrics/{metric_name}/tagshttps://api.ddog-gov.com/api/v2/metrics/{metric_name}/tagshttps://api.datadoghq.com/api/v2/metrics/{metric_name}/tagshttps://api.us3.datadoghq.com/api/v2/metrics/{metric_name}/tagshttps://api.us5.datadoghq.com/api/v2/metrics/{metric_name}/tags

Overview

Create and define a list of queryable tag keys for an existing count/gauge/rate/distribution metric. Optionally, include percentile aggregations on any distribution metric or configure custom aggregations on any count, rate, or gauge metric. Can only be used with application keys of users with the Manage Tags for Metrics permission.

Overview

The metrics end-point allows you to post time-series data that can be graphed on Datadog’s dashboards. The maximum payload size is 3.2 megabytes (3200000 bytes). Compressed payloads must have a decompressed size of less than 62 megabytes (62914560 bytes).

If you’re submitting metrics directly to the Datadog API without using DogStatsD, expect:

64 bits for the timestamp
64 bits for the value
40 bytes for the metric names
50 bytes for the timeseries
The full payload is approximately 100 bytes. However, with the DogStatsD API, compression is applied, which reduces the payload size.

Overview

The metrics end-point allows you to post time-series data that can be graphed on Datadog’s dashboards. The maximum payload size is 500 kilobytes (512000 bytes). Compressed payloads must have a decompressed size of less than 5 megabytes (5242880 bytes).

If you’re submitting metrics directly to the Datadog API without using DogStatsD, expect:

64 bits for the timestamp
64 bits for the value
20 bytes for the metric names
50 bytes for the timeseries
The full payload is approximately 100 bytes.

Host name is one of the resources in the Resources field.
