Datadog Monitors
Create, manage, and maintain monitors for alerting.
Prerequisites
This requires pup in your path. See Setup Pup.
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.
