What it does

Wraps the Datadog dog CLI (dogshell) to give CodeBuddy access to your Datadog observability data. The agent can query metrics, search logs, inspect APM traces, and check monitor status.

Prerequisites

Install dogshell:

pip install datadog

Configure with your keys:

export DATADOG_API_KEY="your-api-key"
export DATADOG_APP_KEY="your-app-key"

Optionally set the Datadog site (default: datadoghq.com):

export DATADOG_HOST="https://api.datadoghq.eu"  # EU site
