# `telemetry` Stanza
The `telemetry` stanza specifies various configurations for Vault to publish
metrics to upstream systems.
```hcl
telemetry {
statsite_address = "statsite.company.local:8125"
}
```
## `telemetry` Parameters
Due to the number of configurable parameters to the `telemetry` stanza,
parameters on this page are grouped by the telemetry provider.
### Common
The following options are available on all telemetry configurations.
* `disable_hostname` `(bool: false)` - Specifies if gauge values should be
prefixed with the local hostname.
### `statsite`
These `telemetry` parameters apply to
[statsite](https://github.com/armon/statsite).
* `statsite_address` `(string: "")` - Specifies the address of a statsite server
to forward metrics data to.
```hcl
telemetry {
statsite_address = "statsite.company.local:8125"
}
```
### `statsd`
These `telemetry` parameters apply to
[statsd](https://github.com/etsy/statsd).
* `statsd_address` `(string: "")` - Specifies the address of a statsd server to
forward metrics to.
```hcl
telemetry {
statsd_address = "statsd.company.local:8125"
}
```
### `circonus`
These `telemetry` parameters apply to [Circonus](http://circonus.com/).
* `circonus_api_token` `(string: "")` - Specifies a valid Circonus API Token
used to create/manage check. If provided, metric management is enabled.
* `circonus_api_app` `(string: "nomad")` - Specifies a valid app name associated
with the API token.
* `circonus_api_url` `(string: "https://api.circonus.com/v2")` - Specifies the
base URL to use for contacting the Circonus API.
* `circonus_submission_interval` `(string: "10s")` - Specifies the interval at
which metrics are submitted to Circonus.
* `circonus_submission_url` `(string: "")` - Specifies the
`check.config.submission_url` field, of a Check API object, from a previously
created HTTPTRAP check.
* `circonus_check_id` `(string: "")` - Specifies the Check ID (**not check
bundle**) from a previously created HTTPTRAP check. The numeric portion of the
`check._cid` field in the Check API object.
* `circonus_check_force_metric_activation` `(bool: false)` - Specifies if force
activation of metrics which already exist and are not currently active. If
check management is enabled, the default behavior is to add new metrics as
they are encountered. If the metric already exists in the check, it will
not be activated. This setting overrides that behavior.
* `circonus_check_instance_id` `(string: "<hostname>:<application>")` - Serves
to uniquely identify the metrics coming from this _instance_. It can be used
to maintain metric continuity with transient or ephemeral instances as they
move around within an infrastructure. By default, this is set to
hostname:application name (e.g. "host123:nomad").
* `circonus_check_search_tag` `(string: <service>:<application>)` - Specifies a
special tag which, when coupled with the instance id, helps to narrow down the
search results when neither a Submission URL or Check ID is provided. By
default, this is set to service:app (e.g. "service:nomad").
* `circonus_check_display_name` `(string: "")` - Specifies a name to give a
check when it is created. This name is displayed in the Circonus UI Checks
list.
* `circonus_check_tags` `(string: "")` - Comma separated list of additional
tags to add to a check when it is created.
* `circonus_broker_id` `(string: "")` - Specifies the ID of a specific Circonus
Broker to use when creating a new check. The numeric portion of `broker._cid`
field in a Broker API object. If metric management is enabled and neither a
Submission URL nor Check ID is provided, an attempt will be made to search for
an existing check using Instance ID and Search Tag. If one is not found, a new
HTTPTRAP check will be created. By default, this is a random
Enterprise Broker is selected, or, the default Circonus Public Broker.
* `circonus_broker_select_tag` `(string: "")` - Specifies a special tag which
will be used to select a Circonus Broker when a Broker ID is not provided. The
best use of this is to as a hint for which broker should be used based on
_where_ this particular instance is running (e.g. a specific geo location or
datacenter, dc:sfo).
### `dogstatsd`
These `telemetry` parameters apply to
[DogStatsD](http://docs.datadoghq.com/guides/dogstatsd/).
* `dogstatsd_addr` `(string: "")` - This provides the address of a DogStatsD
instance. DogStatsD is a protocol-compatible flavor of statsd, with the added
ability to decorate metrics with tags and event information. If provided,
Vault will send various telemetry information to that instance for
aggregation. This can be used to capture runtime information.
- `dogstatsd_tags` `(string array: [])` - This provides a list of global tags
that will be added to all telemetry packets sent to DogStatsD. It is a list
of strings, where each string looks like "my_tag_name:my_tag_value".
