| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Best for | Observability agents that inspect metrics, submit series, create events, manage monitors, update dashboards, and verify service state across calls. |
| Connect with | Route mode for api.datadoghq.com, or direct REST base URLs from archal clone start datadog. |
| Known limits | Broad deterministic clone coverage, not perfect Datadog fidelity. Use it for stateful REST workflows and invariant checks, not exhaustive Datadog protocol compatibility. |
| Seeds | Common seeds: empty. See Seeds for usage. |
What it covers
- Metrics and submitted series
- Logs and event-to-log visibility
- Monitors and monitor status evaluation
- Dashboards and dashboard lists
- SLOs and synthetics tests
- Incidents, service definitions, teams, users, application keys, and log metrics
- Service-shaped REST auth and error envelopes
Surface
Datadog is REST-first. Use route mode when your agent already callsapi.datadoghq.com. For manual debugging, start the clone with
archal clone start datadog and use the printed REST base URL.
