F.Ugly way to push TCP network stats into DataDog. Can be run from a crontab entry

#!/bin/bash -eux
// set $DATADOGKEY to your API key
DATE=$(date +%s)
HOSTNAME=`hostname`
cat /proc/net/sockstat | grep TCP | cut -d":" -f2 |sed 's/^ //g' | awk '{print $1, $2"\n"$3, $4"\n"$5,$6"\n"$7,$8"\n"$9,$10}' >  /tmp/stats.tmp

while read LINE; do
    METRIC=$(echo $LINE | cut -d" " -f1)
    VALUE=$(echo $LINE | cut -d" " -f2)
    curl  -X POST -H "Content-type: application/json" \
