This script will pull metrics from Megaport API and push them to DataDog. It uses the the Megaport API to gather the last 30 minutes worth of mbps in/out samples. These samples are then pushed via the DataDog API. Megaport provides their metrics at ~5 minute intervals. DataDog will not care about the duplicated samples and will do a no-op.
NOTE This is only for routers of type "MCR2". If you would like to view bandwidth data from another Megaport product you will need to change the "products" address URI. Please refer to: https://dev.megaport.com/#service-metrics--2
