Sample message processing errors #8599

Open

Description

This code writes errors to Datadog agent/dogstatsd's logs upon errors parsing client-provided high-volume inputs unsampled. This can lead to excessive disk writes, CPU utilization, the worker goroutines getting blocked, and, ultimately, data loss due to the packets queue backing up. It is best to introduce some sort of sampling for such messages.
