The response includes the created exemption resource. Requires the `Manage Tags for Metrics` permission. This endpoint requires the `metric_tags_write` permission. OAuth apps require the `metric_tags_write` authorization [scope](https://docs.datadoghq.com/api/latest/scopes.md#metrics) to access this endpoint. ### Arguments #### Path Parameters | Name | Type | Description | | ----------------------------- | ------ | ----------------------- | | metric_name [*required*] | string | The name of the metric. | ### Request #### Body Data (required) {% tab title="Model" %} | Parent field | Field | Type | Description | | ------------ | ---------------------------- | ------ | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | | data [*required*] | object | Data object for creating a tag indexing rule exemption. | | data | attributes [*required*] | object | Attributes for creating a tag indexing rule exemption. | | attributes | reason [*required*] | string | The reason the metric is exempt from tag indexing rules. | | data | type [*required*] | enum | The tag indexing rule exemption resource type.
