## Description

You can connect your Datadog account to your AI agent and take control of your infrastructure monitoring and log management through natural conversation. Instead of jumping between tabs to find out why a service is lagging, you can just ask your agent to pull the latest metrics or search for specific error codes in your logs. This Connector gives your agent the eyes it needs to see what's happening across your cloud environment. You can check if your monitors are firing, find out which hosts are running out of disk space, or see how your SLOs are performing. Because Vinkius makes it easy to connect these types of tools, you can set up your workspace and start asking questions about your stack immediately. It's about moving from manually digging through dashboards to getting answers in real-time while you're already working in your preferred environment. You can audit your monitor configurations to ensure they're hitting the right thresholds or quickly check for scheduled maintenance to avoid chasing ghost issues. Whether you're troubleshooting a production outage or just doing a routine health check, you can get specific data points without the friction of navigating a complex UI. It turns your observability data into a conversational resource that's always ready when you need it.

## Tools

### query_metrics
Pull time-series data for specific infrastructure or app metrics. Use it to see how CPU or memory usage changes over time.

### mute_monitor
Silence a specific monitor for a set period. This is perfect for ignoring known issues during maintenance.

### list_downtimes
See planned maintenance windows and their current status. This helps you avoid chasing ghost issues during scheduled work.

### list_slos
View your Service Level Objectives and their current compliance. Use it to see if your app is meeting its uptime targets.

### search_logs
Find specific log entries that match your query. It's great for spotting errors or specific status codes across your apps.

### list_monitors
See all your monitors and their current states like alert or ok. This gives you a quick overview of your system health.

### get_monitor
Get the full details of a specific monitor, including its thresholds. Use it to understand exactly why a monitor is firing.

### list_events
Pull a list of events like alerts and deployment logs. Use it to see what happened in your environment recently.

### list_dashboards
Get a list of all your dashboard IDs and titles. This helps you find the right visualization quickly.

### get_dashboard
See the full configuration and widgets for a specific dashboard. This helps you understand how a dashboard is built.

### list_hosts
Get a list of your infrastructure hosts and their tags. Use it to see which cloud resources are currently active.

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
Show me the CPU usage for 'web-server' over the last 30 minutes
```

**Response:** 
```
Querying Datadog metrics... 

| Metric | Value |
| :--- | :--- |
| Average CPU | 45% |
| Peak CPU | 78% |

**Observation:** Performance peaked about 10 minutes ago but has since stabilized. Everything looks normal now.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Find logs with '500 Internal Server Error' from the last hour
```

**Response:** 
```
I found 12 logs with '500 Internal Server Error' in the last hour.

* **Primary Service:** auth-service
* **Status:** Critical
* **Trace IDs:** `tr_9921`, `tr_9925`, `tr_9930`

Would you like me to pull the full stack traces for these specific IDs?
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Are there any active monitors in 'Alert' state?
```

**Response:** 
```
Checking Datadog monitors... I found 2 monitors currently in **Alert** state:

1. **Free Disk Space Low** on `db-node-1`
2. **High Request Latency** on `api-gateway`

All other monitors are reporting 'OK' or 'Warning'.
```

## Capabilities

### Query live performance metrics
Pull time-series data for infrastructure or application metrics instantly.

### Search and filter application logs
Find specific error traces or status codes using natural language queries.

### Check monitor statuses and health
See which monitors are in alert, warning, or ok states across your stack.

### View dashboard configurations
Retrieve layout structures and widget details for your existing dashboards.

### Audit service level objectives
Check your SLO compliance and target percentages for key services.

### Identify scheduled maintenance
Look up planned downtime windows to avoid chasing false alerts.

### Mute active alerts
Silence specific monitors for set periods during maintenance or known issues.

## Use Cases

### Finding the root cause of a spike
A developer notices a latency spike. They ask the agent to query_metrics for the web-server and then use search_logs to find 500 errors.

### Checking maintenance status
An SRE sees an alert but wants to know if it's planned. They ask the agent to list_downtimes to see if maintenance is active.

### Managing alert fatigue
A DevOps engineer wants to silence a flapping monitor. They tell the agent to use mute_monitor on the specific monitor ID.

### Auditing SLO compliance
A manager wants to know if the API is healthy. They ask the agent to list_slos to see the current compliance status.

## Benefits

- Stop tab-switching by checking Datadog metrics directly in your chat or IDE.
- Find errors faster by using search_logs to filter application logs for specific status codes.
- Manage your alerting strategy with mute_monitor to silence known issues during maintenance.
- Track your uptime and reliability using list_slos to see if you're meeting your targets.
- Get instant visibility into system health by using list_monitors to see active alerts.
- Audit your infrastructure quickly with list_hosts to see active cloud provider attributes.

## How It Works

The bottom line is you get a conversational interface for your entire Datadog observability stack.

1. Add the Datadog integration to your AI client.
2. Provide your Datadog API Key, APP Key, and Site.
3. Ask your agent to query metrics, search logs, or list monitors.

## Frequently Asked Questions

**Can I use the Datadog MCP to see my server health?**
Yes, you can check your system health by asking the agent to list monitors or query specific metrics. It gives you a real-time look at what's running and what's failing.

**How do I connect my Datadog account to my AI agent?**
You'll need your Datadog API Key, APP Key, and Site. Once you provide those to your AI client, the agent can start querying your infrastructure.

**Can it help me find specific errors in my logs?**
Yes, it can search logs using specific queries. You can ask for logs containing specific error codes, status levels, or structured attributes.

**Can I silence alerts using this Connector?**
Yes, you can use the mute_monitor tool to silence specific monitors for set periods. This is great for ignoring known issues during maintenance.

**Does this Connector work for cloud infrastructure?**
Yes, it works with any host or service you have in Datadog, including cloud provider attributes and agent versions.

**Can I see my SLO status?**
Yes, you can ask the agent to list your Service Level Objectives. It will return your target percentages, time windows, and current compliance status.

**Can my agent query specific Datadog metrics using DDQL?**
Yes. Use the 'query_metrics' tool. Provide your DDQL query string and the target time range. The agent will fetch the numeric timeseries data directly from Datadog's telemetry datastores.

**How do I search for a specific error message across my application logs?**
Use the 'search_logs' tool. Provide a query matching your error string and an ISO time boundary. The agent will retrieve the structural extraction of logs matching those parameters to help you identify failures.

**Can I see which monitors are currently in an alert state?**
Absolutely. The 'list_monitors' tool allows you to filter by group state (e.g., 'alert,warn'). The agent pulls the explicitly configured system triggers to show you which services are currently unhealthy.
