The simplest configuration

Stream kernel messages to local datadog-statsd instance

</filter>

A bit more sophisticated example

Stream all error messages from syslog to a remote statsd instance

<filter syslog.**>
  host statsd.example.com
  port 8125
  type statsd_event
  grep ["ERROR", "err[^\w]"]
  tags ["alert:syslog", "role:controller"]
  alert_type error
  record_key message
</filter>
