prefix and suffix don't work for events

[gdoron]

Hi,

Consider this snippet:

const client = new StatsD({
    host: dogstatsdHost,
    port: dogstatsdPort,
    prefix: 'df.',
    globalTags: {
        environment: config.Configuration.Environment,
        application: config.Configuration.Application
    }
});

client.event('application_started');

Expected:

event of df.application_started is sent to datadog.

Actual

event of application_started is sent to datadog.

Is it a bug or by design?
If it's by design, this is very confusing...

Thanks!
Doron

It feels like a bug to me too. I would do a minor or major release if changing it, would need to think more about which, just in case it causes unexpected issues, but does feel like an oversight.

I think it's an important fix, but it's a major, stuff can break because of the fix.
