Datadog Docs

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

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