It is not possible to set a host-tag for Datadog

See original GitHub issue

Setting my Spring Boot 1.x application (actually Grails 3.x) properties of datadog metrics to:

management:
    metrics:
        export:
            datadog:
                enabled: true
                api-key: ***
                host-tag: myapp-dev
                steps: 1m

causes host not to be sent into datadog. I even found a problematic code which doesn’t make sense at all to me.

Am I missing something or is there a bug?

@randysecrist Fair point, and honestly one that many have struggled with. We should do better.

@jkschneider It took me forever to figure out that the host-tag was referencing the common DD tag used to send the hostname. I kept thinking that host-tag meant that is the place in configuration to set the hostname & didn’t realize that I had to also set the common tag. It may be just me being slow; but it could also be that the initial docs a developer reads don’t clarify that. Might be a hidden documentation issue around this…
