Submit metrics

POST {{baseUrl}}/api/v2/series

The metrics end-point allows you to post time-series data that can be graphed on Datadog’s dashboards. The maximum payload size is 500 kilobytes (512000 bytes). Compressed payloads must have a decompressed size of less than 5 megabytes (5242880 bytes).

If you’re submitting metrics directly to the Datadog API without using DogStatsD, expect:

• 64 bits for the timestamp
• 64 bits for the value
• 20 bytes for the metric names
• 50 bytes for the timeseries
• The full payload is approximately 100 bytes.

Host name is one of the resources in the Resources field.
