Submit metrics

POST https://api.ap1.datadoghq.com/api/v1/serieshttps://api.ap2.datadoghq.com/api/v1/serieshttps://api.datadoghq.eu/api/v1/serieshttps://api.ddog-gov.com/api/v1/serieshttps://api.us2.ddog-gov.com/api/v1/serieshttps://api.datadoghq.com/api/v1/serieshttps://api.us3.datadoghq.com/api/v1/serieshttps://api.us5.datadoghq.com/api/v1/series

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.

Field

Type

Description

series [required]

[object]

A list of timeseries to submit to Datadog.

host

string

The name of the host that produced the metric.

interval

int64

If the type of the metric is rate or count, define the corresponding interval in seconds.

metric [required]

string

The name of the timeseries.

points [required]

[array]

Points relating to a metric. All points must be tuples with timestamp and a scalar value (cannot be a string). Timestamps should be in POSIX time in seconds, and cannot be more than ten minutes in the future or more than one hour in the past.

tags

[string]

A list of tags associated with the metric.

type

string

The type of the metric. Valid types are "",count, gauge, and rate.

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.
