Investigate experimental HTTP DogStatsD listener: dogstatsd_experimental_http.enabled and dogstatsd_experimental_http.listen_address. #1682

Description

@jszwedko

Problem

The core agent includes an experimental HTTP/H2C-based DogStatsD ingestion frontend controlled by:

  • dogstatsd_experimental_http.enabled — toggles the experimental HTTP listener
  • dogstatsd_experimental_http.listen_address — bind address for the HTTP listener

ADP does not implement this transport. It is currently classified as not-applicable, but this needs formal confirmation and a documented decision.

What needs to happen

Determine the intended customer use case for the experimental HTTP DogStatsD listener (e.g. clients that cannot use UDP or UDS). Decide whether ADP should implement an equivalent HTTP ingestion path, defer it, or explicitly document it as out of scope. If out of scope, add a clear reason to the Not Planned section of the configuration docs.
