dogstatsd : DOGSTATSD_FLUSH_INTERVAL is not configurable

[wilcollins]

Flush interval should be configurable for high-performance environments.

+1 on this. Our team wants to shorten Datadog StatsD flush interval to 5 sec for better granularity. Unfortunately this is not configurable. It's hard coded in this line. https://github.com/DataDog/dd-agent/blob/master/dogstatsd.py#L62 It would be nice to have DOGSTATSD_FLUSH_INTERVAL configurable as other params here: https://github.com/DataDog/dd-agent/blob/master/datadog.conf.example

I need to set the flush interval to a longer interval since I don't have enough traffic on each instance to calculate useful p95 and p99, i.e. not enough data in 10s. Please make the flush interval configurable.

We have too much data generating too many aggregate metrics and need to increase the interval to reduce the entire number of custom metrics.

I too needed to set the flush interval to a longer interval since its taking too much traffic consuming. Please make the flush interval configurable.

I think this needs to be supported by DD on priority and thats a bad assumption to make.

+1 on this . can we know if there is work being done to get this out

[dilshan5]

Do we have any updates on this feature?

Would be nice to get a response from the maintainers to know if this is even been considered... we would also need to have a shorter period for our app.

Is there any response on the issue, I do not see any fix for this in the recent releases of dogstatsd can anyone confirm, if this issue is resolved or being considered
