Two years ago, Datadog introduced DogStatsD, a .NET StatsD port that enables tracking of C# application performance by sending custom metrics to Datadog for real-time graphing and analysis. Microsoft .NET Custom Events Ingestion now allows direct event transmission from .NET applications to DogStatsD, enabling correlation between custom events and application metrics. To use the DogStatsD C# client in your application, you need a Datadog account, NuGet package manager, and a running Windows Datadog Agent. Once these prerequisites are met, install the DogStatsD-CSharp-Client via Package Manager Console in Visual Studio. Detailed documentation is available on GitHub.
