pup (Datadog CLI)

Pup CLI for Datadog API operations. Supports OAuth2 and API key auth.

Routing

Use this skill for Datadog app URLs and read-only Datadog investigations, including notebooks, dashboards, monitors, logs, metrics, traces, SLOs, incidents, and audit logs. Take the numeric id from a notebook URL such as https://app.datadoghq.com/notebook/<notebook-id>/... and run pup notebooks get <notebook-id>. The same applies on other Datadog sites (app.datadoghq.eu, us3.datadoghq.com, us5.datadoghq.com, ap1.datadoghq.com, ap2.datadoghq.com, ddog-gov.com). Prefer pup over browser automation unless the user explicitly asks for visual inspection.

Prerequisites

Install pup using the setup instructions.

Required Input Resolution

For commands that need specific scope values (<env>, <service-name>, <team-id>, resource IDs), use this order:

Check context first (conversation history, prior command output, saved variables).
If missing, run a discovery command first (list/search) to get valid values.
If still missing or ambiguous, ask the user to confirm the exact value.
Then run the target command.
Never run commands with unresolved placeholders like <env> or <monitor-id>.

Auth

pup auth login                 # OAuth2 browser flow (recommended)
pup auth login --site <site>  # Log into a specific Datadog site
pup auth login --org <name>   # Store a named org session
pup auth status                # Check token validity and time remaining
pup auth list                  # List stored org sessions
pup auth refresh               # Refresh the access token (no browser)
pup auth test                  # Test the current credentials
pup auth logout                # Clear credentials

Access tokens last about an hour. Pup refreshes them before they expire. If a command still fails with 401:

pup auth refresh        # Try refresh first
pup auth login          # If refresh fails, full re-auth

Pass --org <name> on any command to select a session created with pup auth login --org. A 403 is a missing scope, not an expired token. Opt into an extra scope with pup auth login --extra-scopes <scope>.

If Chrome opens the wrong profile/window, use the one-time OAuth URL printed by pup auth login (If the browser doesn't open, visit: ...) and open that link manually in the correct account session.

Headless/CI (no browser)

Pup reads DD_API_KEY, DD_APP_KEY, and DD_SITE from the environment. Configure those secrets in the CI secret store or shell environment outside the agent session.

Safe dashboard create, clone, and update workflow

The goal is a recoverable source and a verified destination. A successful API response alone does not prove that widget content or placement was preserved.

Fetch the source or update target with --read-only and save the exact response as an immutable snapshot. Never overwrite this file with transformed JSON.
```
pup dashboards get <dashboard-id> --read-only -o json > dashboard-source.json
```
Build a separate mutation payload. Remove response-only fields before create/update: author_handle, author_name, created_at, id, modified_at, and url.
```
jq 'del(.author_handle, .author_name, .created_at, .id, .modified_at, .url)' \
  dashboard-source.json > dashboard-payload.json
```
For a backup or clone, leave the source dashboard unchanged and change only explicitly requested fields, usually title or description. Preserve layout_type, reflow_type, widget order, and every recursive widget layout object (x, y, width, height, and is_column_break). Repacking or compacting coordinates creates a derived layout, not an exact clone.

Create or update from dashboard-payload.json, then fetch the destination into a new file.

pup dashboards create --file dashboard-payload.json
pup dashboards get <destination-id> --read-only -o json > dashboard-destination.json

Normalize away the response-only fields and compare the complete definitions. The only differences should be the fields intentionally changed.

Also compare layout projections separately so a placement regression cannot hide in a large widget diff:

jq '{layout_type, reflow_type, layouts: [.. | objects | .layout? // empty]}' dashboard-source.json
jq '{layout_type, reflow_type, layouts: [.. | objects | .layout? // empty]}' dashboard-destination.json

Pup has no dashboard version-history command. If an exact historical version is required and no immutable snapshot exists, inspect version history in the Datadog UI before changing the dashboard. pup dashboards diff <dashboard-id> dashboard-payload.json compares a candidate file to the live dashboard without writing it.

SLOs

pup slos get <slo-id>
pup slos status <slo-id> --from 30d --to now

# JSON output for piping to jq
pup audit-logs search --query "@action:deleted" --from 24h -o json | jq '.data[].attributes'

# audit-logs is the long form (both work)
pup audit-logs search --query "@evt.name:Monitor @action:modified" --from 7d

Service Catalog

pup service-catalog list
pup service-catalog get <service-name>

Notebooks

pup notebooks search
pup notebooks list          # compatibility alias of search
pup notebooks get <notebook-id>

get takes the numeric id from pup notebooks list or from a notebook URL. A cell's resource type is notebook_cells. The rendered type (markdown, timeseries, and so on) goes in attributes.definition.type. Sending "type": "markdown" at the cell resource level returns Invalid type. Expected "notebook_cells".

create and update take a full notebook document. edit appends cells, so its file is a JSON array of cell objects, not a full notebook.

{
  "data": {
    "type": "notebooks",
    "attributes": {
      "name": "Investigation notebook",
      "time": {"live_span": "4h"},
      "cells": [
        {
          "type": "notebook_cells",
          "attributes": {
            "definition": {"type": "markdown", "text": "# Investigation notes"}
          }
        },
        {
          "type": "notebook_cells",
          "attributes": {
            "definition": {
              "type": "timeseries",
              "requests": [{"q": "max:myapp.kafka.consumer.lag{*}"}]
            }
          }
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

pup notebooks create --file notebook.json
pup notebooks update <notebook-id> --file notebook.json
pup notebooks edit <notebook-id> --file cells.json

get, create, update, and edit also accept --markdown and then read or write a Markdown document instead of JSON cells. That path calls /api/unstable/notebooks and only works for rich-text notebooks. Notebooks created through the cells API have no Markdown projection. --name is only valid with create --markdown.

pup notebooks create --markdown --file doc.md
pup notebooks get <notebook-id> --markdown
pup notebooks update <notebook-id> --markdown --file doc.md
pup notebooks edit <notebook-id> --markdown --file fragment.md

Cost Cloud Configs

# `cost` is an alias of `costs`. Cloud configs live under the `datadog` subgroup.
# The id on get/delete is the numeric id returned by list.
pup costs datadog aws-config list
pup costs datadog aws-config get <id>
pup costs datadog aws-config create --file config.json
pup costs datadog aws-config delete <id>

pup costs datadog azure-config list
pup costs datadog azure-config get <id>
pup costs datadog azure-config create --file config.json
pup costs datadog azure-config delete <id>

pup costs datadog gcp-config list
pup costs datadog gcp-config get <id>

Subcommand Discovery

pup --version           # Confirm installed version before documenting workarounds
pup --help              # List all commands
pup <command> --help    # Command-specific help
pup agent schema        # Machine-readable command list for the installed binary
pup dashboards get <dashboard-id> --jq '{title, layout_type}'  # Filter output before formatting

# Raw authenticated request when no subcommand covers the endpoint.
# Relative paths are prefixed with /api/.
pup api v1/monitor
pup docs api            # Live API docs. No authentication required.

Global flags work on any command: -o json, --jq, --org <name>, --yes (skip a destructive confirmation), and --read-only (block create, update, and delete). When Pup detects an agent it returns JSON and auto-approves prompts. --no-agent turns that off.

If local help differs from this skill, follow pup <command> --help for the installed binary. Compare pup --version with the latest stable release before inventing a workaround.

Error Handling

Error	Cause	Fix
401 Unauthorized	Token expired	`pup auth refresh`
403 Forbidden	Missing scope	Check app key permissions
404 Not Found	Wrong ID/resource	Verify resource exists
Rate limited	Too many requests	Add delays between calls

Install
