  "notes": "DogStatsD distribution metric — `|d` is forwarded as raw values to Datadog for global aggregation, enabling cross-host percentiles. Distinct from `|h`, which aggregates locally per agent. Stripe Veneur uses t-digest sketches to implement an equivalent global aggregation outside Datadog."
