Search Datadog logs, metrics, traces, monitors, incidents and dashboards from your agent.

Datadog's hosted server forwards your own Datadog permissions to tools for searching logs, querying metrics, looking up traces and spans, and reading monitors, incidents, dashboards and services. Only the 'core' toolset loads by default; add others such as apm or llmobs with the toolsets query parameter. You sign in with OAuth, or send a personal/service access token or DD_API_KEY and DD_APPLICATION_KEY headers. The URL shown is for US1; other sites have their own endpoints.

Try asking:

"What caused the spike in 5xx errors on the web-store service at 14:00?"
"List monitors that are currently alerting."
"Find traces slower than 2 seconds for the checkout endpoint today."

Sign-in: OAuth in your AI tool the first time you use it.
