How to customize statsd tags in Sidekiq Pro?

[Jordan Brough]

We have a multi-tenant application and we'd like to add a "tenant" tag to our Sidekiq statsd metrics.  Is there a supported way to do that?

Thanks.

Hi Jordan, dogstatsd has the concept of global tags, set when creating the connection `Dogstatsd::Client.new(tags: ["foo:bar"])` and then per-metric tags. You can add your own tags to any of your own custom metrics but there's no way to set thread-local tags for each metric that Pro/Ent create internally. That would be a reasonable feature request if you want to open an issue. Can you give me more specifics about your usecase? Which metric(s) do you want to track per-tenant?

Smart, effective open source infrastructure for your apps.

Thanks Mike.

We'd like to be able to group or filter metrics by tenant using the existing metrics that Pro provides ("jobs.count/perform/success/failure").

E.g. in Datadog we'd like to be able to create graphs for queries like this:

sum:sidekiq.jobs.count{env:production} by {tenant}.as_count()

or this:

max:sidekiq.jobs.perform.max{env:production,tenant:some-tenant}

If it were possible to do something like set thread-local tags that Sidekiq would include on any metrics it emits that could work great.

Great, if that sounds reasonable should I post the above on https://github.com/mperham/sidekiq/issues then?
