Query and analyze Datadog logs, metrics, APM traces, and monitors using the Datadog API. Use when debugging production issues, monitoring application performance, or investigating alerts.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Datadog

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

<IMPORTANT>
Before performing any Datadog operations, first check if the required environment variables are set:

```bash
[ -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`)
</IMPORTANT>

## Authentication Headers

```bash
-H "DD-API-KEY: ${DD_API_KEY}" \
-H "DD-APPLICATION-KEY: ${DD_APP_KEY}" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json"
```

## Query Logs

```bash
curl -s -X POST "https://api.${DD_SITE}/api/v2/logs/events/search" \
  -H "DD-API-KEY: ${DD_API_KEY}" \
  -H "DD-APPLICATION-KEY: ${DD_APP_KEY}" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add openhands/extensions/datadog@sha256:c67db102d293d21e

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260701.599cc4d, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
