## Overview
Package `statsd` provides a Go [dogstatsd](http://docs.datadoghq.com/guides/dogstatsd/) client. Dogstatsd extends Statsd, adding tags
and histograms.
## Get the code
$ go get github.com/DataDog/datadog-go/statsd
## Usage
```go
// Create the client
c, err := statsd.New("127.0.0.1:8125")
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
// Prefix every metric with the app name
c.Namespace = "flubber."
// Send the EC2 availability zone as a tag with every metric
c.Tags = append(c.Tags, "us-east-1a")
err = c.Gauge("request.duration", 1.2, nil, 1)
```
## Buffering Client
Dogstatsd accepts packets with multiple statsd payloads in them. Using the BufferingClient via `NewBufferingClient` will buffer up commands and send them when the buffer is reached or after 100msec.
## Development
Run the tests with:
$ go test
