Datadog Monitoring

Automate Datadog observability — query metrics, search logs, and manage monitors, dashboards, events, and downtimes. Builds metric queries and alert monitors, mutes noisy alerts with scheduled downtimes, and wires dashboards for services and infrastructure.

This skill drives Datadog through its API: querying timeseries metrics, searching and filtering logs, creating and tuning monitors and alert conditions, building dashboards, and scheduling downtimes to silence known-maintenance windows. Use it to stand up alerting or debug why a monitor is firing.

When to use

Use when creating or tuning Datadog monitors, querying metrics and logs, building dashboards, or scheduling downtimes to silence alerts during maintenance.

Examples

Silence a maintenance window

Schedule a downtime

Create a Datadog downtime that mutes all monitors tagged service:checkout between 02:00 and 04:00 UTC for our deploy window

Build an SLO alert

Alert on error rate

Set up a Datadog monitor that pages when the p95 latency of the api service exceeds 500ms for 10 minutes, with a warning threshold at 300ms
