What problem does it solve?

Linux hosts running the Datadog Agent with SSI often require unified service tagging to ensure traces are correctly labeled with service, environment, and version. This skill automates the configuration and verification process for SSI on Linux, enabling consistent tagging across services without code changes.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Configure Unified Service Tags (DD_SERVICE, DD_ENV, DD_VERSION) on a running Linux service to ensure proper trace attribution.
  • Verify that SSI injection is armed and active by checking launcher presence and /proc/<pid>/maps contents, and that the service appears with the correct environment in its process environment.
  • Validate success in production or staging environments by re-checking service health and instrumentation after deployment.

Quick Start

Follow the steps to configure UST on a Linux host and verify SSI injection for a running service.
