| Listen | Listener network interface. | 0.0.0.0 |
| Port | UDP port where listening for connections | 8125 |
| Threaded | Indicates whether to run this input in its own [thread](../../administration/multithreading.md#inputs). | `false` |
| Metrics | Ingested record will be marked as a metric record rather than a log record. | `off` |

Note: When enabling `Metrics On`, we will also handle metrics from the DogStatsD protocol and the internal record in Fluent Bit will be handled as a metric type for downstream processing.
[The full format of DogStatsD of metrics](https://docs.datadoghq.com/developers/dogstatsd/datagram_shell/?tab=metrics#the-dogstatsd-protocol) is not supported.
Including key-value format of tags as below is supported:
`<METRIC_NAME>:<VALUE>|<TYPE>|@<SAMPLE_RATE>|#<TAG_KEY_1>:<TAG_VALUE_1>`
