Dd Logs

This handles Datadog log search, archive configuration, and cost controls through the pup CLI. You get log queries with filtering, access to exclusion filters for dropping noisy logs before they hit your index, and commands to list archives and log-based metrics. The documentation leans hard on cost awareness, which is the right instinct since log volume bills add up fast. It includes search syntax tables, processor examples for parsing and remapping, and practical guidance on what to exclude like health checks and debug logs. Built by the datadog-labs team, so it assumes you're already in the Datadog ecosystem and have pup installed.

Datadog Logs

Search, process, and archive logs with cost awareness.

Prerequisites

Datadog Pup should already be installed. See Setup Pup if not.

Command Execution Order (Token-Efficient)

For scoped commands, use this order:

Check context first (prior outputs, conversation, saved values).
If a required value is missing, run a discovery command first.
If still ambiguous, ask the user to confirm.
Then run the target command.
Avoid speculative commands likely to fail.

Quick Start

pup auth login
