datadog Plugin

A Claude Code skill for debugging and triaging with Datadog logs, metrics, and dashboards.

What it does

This skill enables Claude to use the datadog CLI for:

• Log search - Query and filter logs with Datadog syntax
• Real-time tailing - Stream logs as they arrive
• Trace analysis - Follow distributed requests across services
• Pattern detection - Group similar log messages automatically
• Metrics query - Query timeseries metrics with PromQL-style syntax
• Dashboard management - List, create, update, and delete dashboards

Prerequisites

1. Install the CLI from leonardocouy/datadog-cli

2. Set environment variables:

export DD_API_KEY="your-api-key"
export DD_APP_KEY="your-app-key"

Get keys from: https://app.datadoghq.com/organization-settings/api-keys

Installation

/plugin marketplace add leonardocouy/cc-datadog
/plugin install datadog@cc-datadog

Usage

Once installed, Claude will automatically use datadog commands when you ask questions like:

• "Search for error logs in the last hour"
• "Tail logs from the payments service"
• "Trace this request ID across services"
• "Show me error patterns from today"
• "What dashboards do we have?"
• "Please explain this Datadog dashboard https://app.datadoghq.com/dashboard/xxx-xxx-xxx"
• "Create a new Datadog dashboard for the metrics cpu.usage, memory.used"
