Michael Janiszewski posted a new comment:
Odd that you don't see a stats_counts.  The version found at
https://github.com/etsy/statsd definitely creates a stats_counts bucket
for non-averaged values.

As far as the sampling rate goes, the reason for it is that StatsD was
designed (presumably - I'm not one of the devs) to be a real-time
aggregation tool.  It expects to get multiple values for a given metric
over its reporting interval, which it will then average and push up to
Carbon.  I agree that the sample rate thing is non-intuitive, but
there's no other way around the aggregation.
