@bbassingthwaite-va thank you for addressing those comments. We'll have to wait for someone from the metrics team to do a proper review of the functionality. I have notified the team and hopefully someone will do that soon. If not, feel free to ping me again and I'm happy to ping it forward :) |
- Change how percentiles are configured - Change metric suffix
- Configure using strings to remain consistent with other datadog config apis
- Change standard deviation to 1 and change comparison of expected and got to be within a given threshold - Link to the cumulative standard table to verify tests

@AlexandreYang hi, is there any progress on this feature? this is a blocker for us. what does datadog propose as a workaround for this issue #17 ? |

@codesuki Apologies for late reply. This is among the things we are going to work on in the coming days. Will post here progress on the topic. |

There is a separate PR for disabling Counts Per Buckets: #52 cc @btbernheim |
Datadog doesn't support Distribution metrics at the API layer, this PR introduces the ability for each client to calculate the percentiles locally and emit them as a gauge metric. This PR also adds an option to disable emitting Counts Per Buckets which for us is not useful and is quite expensive due to the number of tags that are emitted.
Fixes #17
