What This Skill Does

Manages Datadog monitors through the pup CLI. You can list, search, create, and audit monitors, set up downtimes, and follow alerting best practices like recovery thresholds and proper scoping to reduce noise.

Keeps monitor definitions in files you can version-control and review, instead of clicking through the Datadog UI for every threshold change.

When to use it

  • Creating a new metric alert from a JSON file with proper thresholds
  • Auditing monitors to find ones missing team ownership tags
  • Listing all monitors filtered by a specific team or service tag
  • Scheduling a downtime window before a planned deployment
  • Checking which monitors are flapping and tightening their evaluation windows
