# Set the host's tags

# Set timeout in seconds for outgoing requests to Datadog. (default: 20)
# When a request timeout, it will be retried after some time.
# It will only be deleted if the forwarder queue becomes too big. (30 MB by default)

# unbounded timeouts can potentially block the collector indefinitely and cause
# problems!

# ========================================================================== #
#
# Service discovery allows the agent to look for running services
# and load a configuration object for the one it recognizes.
# This feature is disabled by default.
# Uncomment this line to enable it (works for docker containers only for now).

# Define which key/value store must be used to look for configuration templates.
# Default is etcd. Consul is also supported.

# Settings for connecting to the service discovery backend.
# sd_backend_host: 127.0.0.1
# sd_backend_port: 4001
#
# By default, the agent will look for the configuration templates under the
# `/datadog/check_configs` key in the back-end. If you wish otherwise, uncomment this option
# and modify its value.

# use_dogstatsd: yes

# DogStatsd is a small server that aggregates your custom app metrics. For
# usage information, check out http://docs.datadoghq.com/guides/dogstatsd/

#  Make sure your client is sending to the same port.
# dogstatsd_port: 8125

# By default dogstatsd will post aggregate metrics to the Agent (which handles

# dogstatsd_target: http://localhost:17123

# If you want to forward every packet received by the dogstatsd server
# to another statsd server, uncomment these lines.
# WARNING: Make sure that forwarded packets are regular statsd packets and not "dogstatsd" packets,
# as your other statsd server might not be able to handle them.

# in some way; if so, configure your namespace here. a metric that looks
# like `metric.name` will instead become `namespace.metric.name`
# statsd_metric_namespace:

# By default, dogstatsd supports only plain ASCII packets. However, most
# (dog)statsd client support UTF8 by encoding packets before sending them
# this option enables UTF8 decoding in case you need it.
# However, it comes with a performance overhead of ~10% in the dogstatsd
# server. This will be taken care of properly in the new gen agent core.

#  Dogstream (log file parser)
# -------------------------------------------------------------------------- #

# Comma-separated list of logs to parse and optionally custom parsers to use.
# The form should look like this:
#
#   dogstreams: /path/to/log1:parsers_module:custom_parser, /path/to/log2, /path/to/log3, ...
#
# Or this:
#
#   dogstreams: /path/to/log1:/path/to/my/parsers_module.py:custom_parser, /path/to/log2, /path/to/log3, ...
#
# Each entry is a path to a log file and optionally a Python module/function pair
# separated by colons.
#
# Custom parsers should take a 2 parameters, a logger object and
# a string parameter of the current line to parse. It should return a tuple of
# the form:
#   (metric (str), timestamp (unix timestamp), value (float), attributes (dict))
# where attributes should at least contain the key 'metric_type', specifying
# whether the given metric is a 'counter' or 'gauge'.
#
# Unless parsers are specified with an absolute path, the modules must exist in
# the Agent's PYTHONPATH. You can set this as an environment variable when
# starting the Agent. If the name of the custom parser function is not passed,
# 'parser' is assumed.
#
# If this value isn't specified, the default parser assumes this log format:
#     metric timestamp value key0=val0 key1=val1 ...
