Metrics
groundcover is able to ingest metrics generated by DataDog clients using the DogStatsD protocol. Once ingested the metrics will appear as custom metrics in the Dashboards section.
groundcover currently only supports ingestion via a running DataDog agent. Support for ingestion directly from instrumented services is coming soon! 🎉

Send metrics both to groundcover & DataDog - Dual Shipping
The following is based on VictoriaMetrics' docs here.
Add the following configuration value to your DataDog deployment:
