statsd-tags
A simple statsd client with DogTag-compatible tag support.
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
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.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires a statsd daemon listening on the specified host and port (default localhost:8125).
- Low install friction with no runtime dependencies.
- However, the package has been abandoned since its last release, with no recent maintenance activity.

What it is and what it does
statsd-tags is a Python client library that sends metrics to a statsd daemon for aggregation and forwarding to Graphite. 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.
The 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.
Use it for
- Send application performance metrics (request counts, response times) to Graphite for real-time monitoring.
- Tag metrics with environment and service identifiers to organize and filter metrics across multiple deployments.
- Record custom business metrics (user signups, transactions) alongside infrastructure metrics in a unified system.
- Integrate statsd metric collection into legacy Python 2 or early Python 3 applications without updating dependencies.
