Datadog Docs

Use this skill to locate Datadog documentation and limits.

LLM-Friendly Documentation

Datadog provides an LLM-optimized documentation index at:

https://docs.datadoghq.com/llms.txt

This file contains:

• Overview of all Datadog products organized by use case
• Full list of documentation pages with URLs and descriptions
• Direct links to Markdown sources (append .md to URLs)

How to Use llms.txt

1. Fetch the index to understand available documentation:

   curl -s https://docs.datadoghq.com/llms.txt | head -100
   

2. Search for specific topics:

Examples:

curl -s https://docs.datadoghq.com/llms.txt | grep -i "monitors"
curl -s https://docs.datadoghq.com/llms.txt | grep -i "apm"
curl -s https://docs.datadoghq.com/llms.txt | grep -i "logs"

3. Fetch specific doc pages (add .md to most Datadog Docs URLs for raw content):

   curl -s https://docs.datadoghq.com/monitors.md
   curl -s https://docs.datadoghq.com/tracing.md

Scope Guardrails

• Use llms.txt for documentation lookups
• Defer to official docs for feature availability and limits

Failure Handling

• If docs.datadoghq.com is unreachable, check network connectivity
• For region-specific docs, use appropriate site (datadoghq.eu, etc.)
