Postgres agent integration forbidden tag error

[markdjones82]

Hi, we have a lambda postgres agent that was created a few years ago and since upgrading to python3.12 runtime environment. We are receiving the below error when trying to upload metrics. I am unsure what to modify to get this tag removed. Any help? Please let me know any info you need to help troubleshoot.

We are using these libraries:

from datadog_api_client.v1 import ApiClient, ApiException, Configuration
from datadog_api_client.v1.api import metrics_api
from datadog_api_client.v1.models import *

Series:
  formatted = Series(
                host = hostname,           
                interval = 1,
                metric = name,
                points = points,
                tags = tags,
                type = METRIC_TYPE_SUBMISSION_TO_BACKEND_MAP[metric_type]
            )

It seems to fail because of this:

checker = PostgreSql("Postgres", {}, [db_config])

the db_config requires a host entry which then gets a tag:
{ "host": db["Endpoint"], "port": db["Port"], "username": "datadog", "ssl": "require", "password": token, }

Caught error for cluster clustername.aws: Metric postgres.can_connect was submitted with a forbidden tag: host. Please rename this tag, or skip the tag validation with DDEV_SKIP_GENERIC_TAGS_CHECK environment variable.. Continuing with next cluster.
