datadog

This skill should be used when the user wants to create a Datadog monitoring dashboard as Terraform HCL. Handles metric discovery via Datadog MCP, documentation, or integrations-core CSV, widget layout design with grouped widgets, template variables, team assignment, and terraform fmt validation. Activates on: "create dashboard", "datadog dashboard", "new dashboard", "add dashboard", "dashboard for", "monitor dashboard", "build monitoring dashboard", "generate dashboard HCL", "Terraform dashboard".

This skill should be used when the user wants to search, analyze, or investigate Datadog logs. Translates natural language or code snippets into Datadog log queries, executes via search-logs and aggregate-logs MCP tools, and presents structured results with follow-up suggestions. Activates on: "search logs", "find logs", "datadog logs", "log search", "check logs", "query logs", "analyze logs", "show me errors", "recent errors", "find 5xx", "investigate logs", "debug with logs", "log analysis", "count errors by", "group logs by", "error breakdown", "cercare log", "cerca nei log", "log datadog", "analizzare log".

This skill should be used when the user wants to configure Datadog credentials, verify MCP server connectivity, or set project-level defaults (default service, search filters). Checks ~/.claude/settings.local.json for DD_API_KEY, DD_APP_KEY, and DD_SITE environment variables, tests MCP tool availability, and writes configuration to the project's CLAUDE.md. Activates on: "setup datadog", "configure datadog", "datadog setup", "install datadog", "connect to datadog", "datadog credentials", "datadog api key", "test datadog connection", "verify datadog", "datadog config", "initialize datadog", "configurare datadog", "configurazione datadog".

This skill should be used when the user wants to search, analyze, or investigate Datadog APM traces. Finds recent traces by query or looks up specific traces by ID or Datadog URL. Translates natural language into APM query syntax, executes via the list_traces MCP tool, and parses large trace responses into concise summaries with error details and Datadog links. Activates on: "search traces", "find traces", "datadog traces", "trace search", "analyze trace", "trace lookup", "APM traces", "slow requests", "error traces", "trace ID", "investigate trace", "request performance", "tracciare errori", "cercare trace", "trace datadog".
