The distribution metric type is available under beta on datadog, which we have enabled on our account: https://docs.datadoghq.com/developers/dogstatsd/data_types/#distributions

They are more accurate than datadog's histogram metric, which aggregates on the client before sending them to the server, rendering it pretty useless when running quantiles or averages.

The distribution metric is computed server side, giving results that generally make much more sense.
