sends its runtime telemetry, and contains the following keys:
* <a name="telemetry-statsd_address"></a><a href="#telemetry-statsd_address">`statsd_address`</a> This provides the
address of a statsd instance. If provided, Consul will send various telemetry information to that instance for
aggregation. This can be used to capture runtime information. This sends UDP packets only and can be used with
statsd or statsite.
* <a name="telemetry-statsite_address"></a><a href="#telemetry-statsite_address">`statsite_address`</a> This provides
the address of a statsite instance. If provided, Consul will stream various telemetry information to that instance
for aggregation. This can be used to capture runtime information. This streams via TCP and can only be used with
statsite.
* <a name="telemetry-statsite_prefix"></a><a href="#telemetry-statsite_prefix">`statsite_prefix`</a>
The prefix used while writing all telemetry data to statsite. By default, this is set to "consul".
* <a name="telemetry-dogstatsd_addr"></a><a href="#telemetry-dogstatsd_addr">`dogstatsd_addr`</a> This provides the
address of a DogStatsD instance in the format `host:port`. DogStatsD is a protocol-compatible flavor of
statsd, with the added ability to decorate metrics with tags and event information. If provided, Consul will
send various telemetry information to that instance for aggregation. This can be used to capture runtime
information.
* <a name="telemetry-dogstatsd_tags"></a><a href="#telemetry-dogstatsd_tags">`dogstatsd_tags`</a> This provides a list of global tags
that will be added to all telemetry packets sent to DogStatsD. It is a list of strings, where each string
looks like "my_tag_name:my_tag_value".
