StatsD is one of the possible metrics reporting backends that Temporal supports. In production, we recommend using Prometheus or M3 which are more advanced.

I believe StatsD is already not included into Temporal docker-compose files and Helm charts.

What Maxim said + removing statsd from Temporal’s docker-compose files is underway, tracked by: https://github.com/temporalio/temporal/issues/319

Thanks, so will make prometheus the default metrics handler or will it require custom coding to extract metrics?
