It provides a simple API to increment counters, record timings, and set gauges, with optional metric prefixes. The package extends the standard statsd protocol with support for DogTag-compatible tags, allowing you to attach key-value labels to metrics for better organization and filtering in monitoring systems.\n\nThe library has no external runtime dependencies, making it lightweight to install. However, it requires an active statsd daemon running on your network to receive the metrics. The package is classified as production-stable but has not been maintained since its initial release, meaning it does not track changes to the statsd protocol or modern Python ecosystem practices.","worth_installing":"No. The package is abandoned and has not been updated since 2016-12-24. While it has no known vulnerabilities and low install friction, the lack of maintenance means it will not adapt to protocol changes, security updates, or modern Python versions. For new projects, use an actively maintained statsd client or a modern observability library. For legacy systems already using it, consider migration planning."},"id":"statsd-tags","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/statsd-tags","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/statsd-tags.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/statsd-tags/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2016-12-24","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"statsd-tags","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"A simple statsd client with DogTag-compatible tag support."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":151241,"position":10939,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"3.2.1.post1"}
