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"
  1. 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

Frequently asked

What is llms.txt and how does it differ from the regular Datadog docs?
llms.txt is an LLM-optimized documentation index at docs.datadoghq.com/llms.txt that provides an overview of all Datadog products, a searchable list of documentation pages with URLs and descriptions, and direct links to Markdown sources. It's designed for efficient parsing by AI agents rather than human browsing.
Can I fetch raw Markdown versions of Datadog documentation pages?
Yes. Most Datadog Docs URLs support a .md suffix to return raw Markdown content, e.g. docs.datadoghq.com/monitors.md instead of docs.datadoghq.com/monitors/.
What should I do if docs.datadoghq.com is unreachable?
Check network connectivity first. For region-specific documentation, use the appropriate Datadog site domain (e.g. datadoghq.eu).
Does this skill cover all Datadog products and features?
The skill provides lookup access to documentation for major Datadog products including APM, Logs, Metrics, Monitors, Dashboards, Security, Synthetics, RUM, Incidents, and the API Reference. Refer to the official llms.txt index for the complete list of available documentation.
