What problem does it solve? Managing logs at scale in Datadog is expensive and complex: noisy sources inflate indexing costs, search syntax is easy to get wrong, and trace IDs can mysteriously disappear from API results. This Skill provides tested commands and configurations for searching logs, building pipelines, controlling costs, and archiving data. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Log Search: Query logs with the Datadog search syntax (tags, attributes, numeric ranges, wildcards) via the pup CLI, with JSON output by default. - Pipelines & Processing: Create observability pipelines with grok parsers, status remappers, and attribute remappers to structure logs before indexing. - Cost Control: Configure exclusion filters to drop debug logs, health checks, and static assets, and identify the noisiest log sources. - Archives & Compliance: Store logs cheaply in S3 with rehydration tags, and scrub sensitive data like emails, credit cards, and SSNs. - Use Case: Your Datadog bill spiked. Use this Skill to find the top 10 noisiest services, add exclusion filters for health checks and debug logs, and archive the rest to S3 for compliance. ## Quick Start Ask the AI to search Datadog logs for errors in the api service from the last hour using the pup CLI.
