# Datadog Docs

Use this skill to locate Datadog documentation and limits.

## LLM-Friendly Documentation

Datadog provides an LLM-optimized documentation index at:

```
https://docs.datadoghq.com/llms.txt
```

This file contains:
- Overview of all Datadog products organized by use case
- Full list of documentation pages with URLs and descriptions
- Direct links to Markdown sources (append `.md` to URLs)

### How to Use llms.txt

1. **Fetch the index** to understand available documentation:
   ```bash
   curl -s https://docs.datadoghq.com/llms.txt | head -100
   ```

2. **Search for specific topics**:

Examples:

   ```bash
   curl -s https://docs.datadoghq.com/llms.txt | grep -i "monitors"
   curl -s https://docs.datadoghq.com/llms.txt | grep -i "apm"
   curl -s https://docs.datadoghq.com/llms.txt | grep -i "logs"
   ```

3. **Fetch specific doc pages** (add .md to most Datadog Docs URLs for raw content):
   ```bash
   curl -s https://docs.datadoghq.com/monitors.md
   curl -s https://docs.datadoghq.com/tracing.md
   ```

## Scope Guardrails

- Use llms.txt for documentation lookups
- Defer to official docs for feature availability and limits

## Failure Handling

- If docs.datadoghq.com is unreachable, check network connectivity
- For region-specific docs, use appropriate site (datadoghq.eu, etc.)
