datadog

datadog is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from G1Joshi/Agent-Skills. It costs 18 tokens per session (390 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A monitoring service for applications and the infrastructure they run on. It collects logs, performance traces, and measurements so developers can see what is slow, failing, or unusual.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to trace requests, find slow database queries or API calls, search logs, monitor infrastructure, track real-user performance, and observe AI application usage.
Why use it?
It brings application, database, server, and user-activity signals together, making production problems easier to locate.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

datadog scanned grade A with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

What it actually says

Datadog

Datadog is a leading SaaS observability platform. In 2025, it focuses on AI Observability (monitoring LLMs) and automated remediation with Watchdog.

When to Use

  • SaaS Convenience: You want a complete solution (APM, Logs, Infra) without managing storage.
  • Full Stack Visibility: Frontend RUM (Real User Monitoring) connected to Backend Traces connected to DB Metrics.
  • AI Apps: Monitor token usage, latency, and costs of LLM calls.

Quick Start

Install Agent: DD_API_KEY=... bash -c "$(curl -L https://s3.amazonaws.com/dd-agent/scripts/install_script.sh)"

Enable APM (e.g. Node.js): DD_TRACE_AGENT_URL=http://localhost:8126 node --require dd-trace/init app.js

Core Concepts

Tags

The most important concept. env:prod, service:login, team:core. Filter everything by tags.

Watchdog

AI-driven anomaly detection. "Redis latency is 30% higher than normal".

APM (Application Performance Monitoring)

Automatic instrumentation of code to find slow SQL queries or API calls.

Best Practices (2025)

Do:

  • Tag Everything: Use DD_TAGS to standard metadata across all hosts.
  • Use Sampling: For high-volume services, sample traces to keep costs down.
  • Set Budgets: Datadog is expensive. Use cost alerts.

Don't:

  • Don't ignore the bill: Custom Metrics and high-volume logs can spike costs unexpectedly.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

datadog is a skill published in the GitHub repository G1Joshi/Agent-Skills (12 stars, last pushed 7mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 18 tokens to every session and 390 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
