Help with testing for a PR/feature

[Overbryd]

Hi @sentient,

I started to prepare a PR, for supporting an alternate way of tagging statsd messages.
In my case, the only major problem why I have a hard time replacing Datadog metrics with the Elastic stack.

The datadog datagram format is widely used in many statsd clients I know of (e.g. traefik loadbalancer).
It is described here https://docs.datadoghq.com/developers/dogstatsd/datagram_shell/#datagram-format

and so with my limited knowledge of beats development and go I set out to implement this.

This is the patch I came up with: https://gist.github.com/Overbryd/4fe442429bbdaff8f1334251fd607827

Unfortunately, I cannot run the tests and I need some help getting my local "beats" / "statsdbeats" development environment setup.

I checked out your repository in my GO_PATH and all, fetched the necessary dependencies,
but running go test -run '' does not get me any further.

Would you mind to enlighten me about your dev setup for statsdbeat?

Kind regards,

Lukas
