Tags

The tag endpoint allows you to assign tags to hosts, for example: role:database. Those tags are applied to all metrics sent by the host. Refer to hosts by name (yourhost.example.com) when fetching and applying tags to a particular host.

The component of your infrastructure responsible for a tag is identified by a source. For example, some valid sources include nagios, hudson, jenkins, users, feed, chef, puppet, git, bitbucket, fabric, capistrano, etc. Find a complete list of source type names under API Source Attributes.
