Plugin Claude Code Monitoring Monitoring & ObservabilityAI Agents & AI App DevelopmentThe explanation below is AI-generated. Please verify it against the sources.
This is a Claude Code plugin (currently in Preview) that connects Claude Code to a preconfigured Datadog MCP server, letting you query Datadog logs, metrics, traces, dashboards, and monitors using natural language. It requires a Datadog account and Claude Code v2.1.30+, and is installed via /plugin install datadog@claude-plugins-official. Setup connects the plugin to your Datadog account and selects the correct Datadog MCP domain, either through OAuth in the browser or via API key/application key environment variables. According to the README, no Datadog credentials are sent to the AI model provider.
Overview
Datadog, per its homepage, is described as 'Cloud Monitoring as a Service' — an integrated observability and security platform covering infrastructure, applications, logs, security, digital experience, software delivery, and service management.
What you can do with datadog
- Ask natural-language questions about Datadog logs, metrics, traces, dashboards, and monitors (e.g., "Show me error logs from the last hour")
- Check which monitors are currently alerting
- Find traces for a specific service filtered by conditions such as latency
- List your dashboards
- Run /ddsetup to connect the plugin to your Datadog account and select the MCP domain
- Run /ddconfig to change your Datadog site, switch organizations, or diagnose connection issues
- Run /ddtoolsets to enable or disable groups of tools
- Authenticate via OAuth (default) or via Datadog API key and application key environment variables (DD_MCP_DOMAIN, DD_API_KEY, DD_APPLICATION_KEY)
