Can the statd be disabled/enabled?

Whats statd used in temporal for, what will be the consequence of disabling it?

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?
