Datadog

Targeting and Setup

  • Confirm the Datadog site, organization, service, environment, time window, tags, monitor, incident, trace ID, or dashboard target.
  • For non-US1 organizations, confirm the Datadog site and endpoint host before authentication.
  • The toolsets query parameter can be added after installation to expose only the required Datadog product areas.

Investigation and Safety

  • Begin with narrow time ranges and tags, widening only when the first pass misses relevant evidence.
  • Logs, metrics, traces, deployment events, monitor status, and incidents provide complementary evidence and should be correlated before a cause is assigned.
  • Production telemetry can include customer identifiers, incident details, and security signals. Summaries should omit sensitive payloads.
  • Keep investigation read-only until changes to monitors, dashboards, notebooks, incident state, or platform configuration are necessary.
