AI agents for Datadog
A Monmo agent works in Datadog the way an on-call engineer with time to dig would. When a monitor fires it reads the metrics, logs and traces around it and writes a timeline, and it searches logs for a customer's report, cleans up noisy monitors and writes the weekly SLO report. It works within the keys or account you connect, and muting, editing or scheduling downtime asks first.

What agents do in Datadog
Investigate a firing monitor
When a monitor alerts, it reads the metric, the service's logs and APM traces for the same minutes and recent deploys from GitHub, then writes a short timeline with the likely cause.
AskThe p95 latency monitor on payments-api is firing. Look at logs, traces and deploys and tell me what changed.
Search logs for a customer report
Give it a customer ID, an order number or an error message. It writes the log query, reads the matching entries across services and explains what happened to that request, step by step.
AskOrder 77120 failed at checkout around 15:40. Find its logs across services and tell me where it broke.
Clean up noisy monitors
It finds monitors that alerted most in the last 30 days and recovered within minutes, or that paged someone through PagerDuty and nobody acknowledged, and drafts better thresholds or evaluation periods. Editing or muting asks first.
AskWhich monitors alerted more than 15 times last month and resolved on their own? Suggest new thresholds.
Write the weekly SLO report
Every Monday it reads each SLO's status and remaining error budget, notes which services burned budget fastest and why, and writes it up in Google Docs or a short Slack post.
AskEvery Monday at 9, report SLO status and error budget left for each service, with the reason for any big burn.
Build a dashboard for a launch
For a new service it drafts a dashboard with request rate, errors, latency, saturation and the business metric you care about. Creating the dashboard in your organisation asks first.
AskBuild a launch dashboard for the new search service: traffic, errors, p95 latency and searches with no results.
Schedule downtime for maintenance
Before planned maintenance it lists the monitors that would alert, prepares a downtime scoped to those monitors and the window, and asks you before it is scheduled.
AskWe upgrade the database on Saturday from 2 to 4am. Prepare a downtime for the monitors that will fire.
Draft the incident postmortem
After an incident it gathers the monitor history, deploys, graphs and the Slack thread, and drafts a blameless postmortem with timeline, impact and follow-ups as draft Jira tickets for you to edit.
AskDraft the postmortem for last night's checkout outage from Datadog and the incident channel in Slack.
How it connects
- 1Datadog connects with keys from your organisation or with your own sign-in. An application key carries the permissions of the user who created it, so create it from an account that has only the access the agent should have.
- 2You choose which agents may use Datadog. An engineering or on-call agent needs it, and a data agent may read dashboards for reports; nobody else needs your logs.
- 3Reading metrics, logs, traces, monitors and dashboards happens without asking. Muting or editing a monitor, scheduling downtime, creating a dashboard or declaring an incident asks first.

Questions people ask
Can an AI agent investigate Datadog alerts?
Yes. When a monitor fires, the AI agent reads the metric, the related logs and traces and any deploy in the same window, then tells you what changed and what it would check next. It works through the Datadog connection, or in its own browser when the connection does not cover something.
Will it mute monitors or change thresholds on its own?
No. Muting, editing a monitor and scheduling downtime each show a card with the monitor, the change and how long it lasts. A muted monitor can hide a real outage, so the agent never folds that into another approval and always says when the mute will end.
What Datadog access does the agent need?
Read access covers most of the work: monitors, logs, traces, dashboards and SLOs. If you want it to edit monitors or build dashboards, connect an account or application key with those permissions only. You can revoke the key in Datadog at any time and the agent loses access at once.
Can it write Datadog log and metric queries for me?
Yes. Describe what you want in plain words, such as errors for one customer on one service since noon, and the agent writes the query, runs it and explains the result. It shows the query too, so you can save it or reuse it in a monitor.
