Tools
Get Account Info
Detect the Datadog region for the connected account. Call this FIRST before any other Datadog tool if you do not already know the region. Returns the region domain (e.g. datadoghq.com) which must be passed as the region parameter to **Search Logs**, **Search Monitors**, **Get Metric Data**, and all other Datadog tools. See the docs
Get Account Region
Detect the Datadog region for the connected account by validating the API key against each regional endpoint. Use this to discover the correct region before calling other Datadog actions. See the docs
Get Metric Data
Query time-series metric data for analyzing trends and system performance. Query syntax: avg:system.cpu.user{*}, sum:requests.count{env:prod} by {host}, max:system.mem.used{service:web}. Both from and to are POSIX timestamps in seconds. Use **Search Metrics** first to discover available metric names. Use **Search Hosts** to find valid host tags for scoping. After finding anomalies, use **Search Logs** to investigate related entries. See the docs
List Logs
Get a list of logs matching a filter query. Uses the GET endpoint with a higher rate limit (3600/hr vs 300/hr). See the docs
Post Metric Data
The metrics end-point allows you to post time-series data that can be graphed on Datadog's dashboards. See docs
Search Dashboards
List and search Datadog dashboards. Returns dashboard IDs, titles, URLs, and metadata. Dashboard URL: https://app.{region}/dashboard/{id} where region comes from **Get Account Info**. Use alongside **Search Services** to find dashboards related to a specific service. See the docs
Search Events
Search Datadog events: monitor state changes, deployment markers, error spikes, and infrastructure events. Filter by sources (e.g. nagios,docker), tags (e.g. env:prod,service:web), and priority (normal or low). Time range defaults to last 24h (POSIX timestamps in seconds). To investigate a monitor alert, use **Search Monitors** first, then search events for the relevant time range. Follow up with **Search Logs** for deeper investigation. See the docs
Search Hosts
Search monitored infrastructure hosts. Filter by tag (env:production), name (host:web-01), or partial match. Sort by cpu, iowait, load, status, or apps. Host names from results can scope queries in **Get Metric Data** (e.g. avg:system.cpu.user{host:web-01}), filter logs in **Search Logs** (host:web-01), or filter metrics in **Search Metrics**. Max 1000 results. See the docs
Search Incidents
Search Datadog incidents by state, severity, and metadata. Query syntax: state:active, state:resolved, severity:SEV-1. After finding an incident, investigate with: **Search Logs** for the incident time window, **Get Metric Data** for relevant metrics, **Search Events** for related monitor alerts, and **Search Services** for ownership info. See the docs
Search Logs
Search Datadog logs matching a query with support for facets and time ranges. Uses log search syntax: service:web-app status:error, @http.status_code:>=400, boolean operators (AND, OR, NOT), and wildcards. Set from to now-1h for recent logs. Use **Search Metrics** to discover metric names or **Search Hosts** to find host names for filtering. To investigate an incident, use **Search Incidents** first, then search logs for that time window and service. See the docs
Search Metrics
Discovery tool: list available Datadog metric names, optionally filtered by host. Returns metric name strings (e.g. system.cpu.user, aws.ec2.cpuutilization) for use in **Get Metric Data** queries with the syntax aggregation:metric.name{tags}. Use **Search Hosts** to find valid host names for the host filter. See the docs
Search Monitors
Search Datadog monitors (alerting rules) including status, thresholds, and conditions. Query syntax: tag:env:production, type:metric, status:Alert. Tags filter: comma-separated (e.g. env:prod,team:backend). After finding a monitor, use **Search Events** to see recent state changes, or **Get Metric Data** to query the underlying metric it tracks. Returns monitor ID, name, type, query, status, and tags. See the docs
Search Services
List services from Datadog's Service Catalog with ownership, metadata, and team info. Use to discover service names for filtering in **Search Logs** (service:my-app) or finding monitors via **Search Monitors** (tag:service:my-app). Returns service definitions including links, docs, and on-call. See the docs
