Datadog

Windows PowerShell equivalents for the Datadog curl, environment-variable, timestamp, and JSON formatting snippets are in references/windows.md.

[ -n "$DD_API_KEY" ] && echo "DD_API_KEY is set" || echo "DD_API_KEY is NOT set"
[ -n "$DD_APP_KEY" ] && echo "DD_APP_KEY is set" || echo "DD_APP_KEY is NOT set"
[ -n "$DD_SITE" ] && echo "DD_SITE is set" || echo "DD_SITE is NOT set"

If any of these variables are missing, ask the user to provide them before proceeding:

• DD_API_KEY: Datadog API key
• DD_APP_KEY: Datadog Application key
• DD_SITE: Datadog site (e.g., datadoghq.com, datadoghq.eu, us3.datadoghq.com)
