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
