Unable to ship metrics to datadog via UDS protocol

[pwmb]

Using uds to send metrics and traces to datadog, the traces are sent correctly but while trying to send metrics getting these errors

This is how the client is created:

export default new StatsD({
  path: 'unix:///var/run/datadog/dsd.socket',
  prefix: 'parcel-tracking-services',
  errorHandler: (err) => {
    console.log(`Datadog metrics error, ${err.message}`);
  },
  protocol: 'uds',
});

Getting this error:
Datadog metrics error, connect -2

---

We are sending metrics like so:

metrics.increment(MetricsKeys.NEW_RECORD_INSERTED, 1, (err, bytes) => {
  Logger.warn(`MetricsError = ${err?.message}`, { requestId });
});

Getting this error:
MetricsError = Socket not created properly. Check previous errors for details.

Hi @pwmb I am not sure from this information what is going wrong. We do have UDS tests and other people using this. Let me know if this ended up working out for you (given my slow reply here) or if you have any more details on this.
