Add these settings to your statsd configuration file (possibly something like /etc/statsd.js)

{
  ...(unrelated options)...
, graphite: {
    legacyNamespace: false
  , globalPrefix:  ""
  , prefixCounter: ""
  , prefixTimer:   ""
  , prefixGauge:   ""
  , prefixSet:     ""
  }
}

It looks like your using statsd with the graphite.js backend.

In the code is setup to prefix the metrics with stats. if no globalprefix is provided during the init()

https://github.com/etsy/statsd/blob/master/backends/graphite.js

line 180: globalPrefix  = globalPrefix !== undefined ? globalPrefix : "stats";

You will need to change how your calling the init() to offer it a blank gobalPrefix.

OR

You would need to alter the backend in order to stop is prefix all your statsd metrics with stats.
