I was recently trying to deploy this plugin into an API environment and was not receiving metrics in Datadog.
I have a multi-container deployment set up with docker-compose, and I was trying to send metrics from my application container (where uWSGI is running) to my dd-agent which is in a separate container (same docker network). I followed the instructions and didn't see any worrisome logs from uWSGI or the agent, but still nothing was coming through.
Eventually I noticed that dogstatsd was listening on
127.0.0.1:8125in the dd-agent container, and noticed the documentation here mentioning "non-local" traffic. After configuring dogstatsd to listen for "non-local" traffic, dogstatsd was listening correctly to outside traffic and metrics began coming in. Yay!I thought it might be helpful to include a small note in the usage instructions here so that anyone attempting something similar in the future might save some troubleshooting time. Happy to take feedback or amend what I've added.
