A Datadog AI Agent That Explains What The Alert Is Really Saying

An alert at midnight rarely says why. The agent looks at the monitor, the related graphs and recent logs, then tells your team what changed and where to look first.

What Your Agent Does In Datadog

  • Explains An Alert

    When a latency monitor fires, the agent checks the service dashboard and writes two lines on what moved first and what else is affected.

  • Summarizes The Week

    Each Monday it lists which monitors fired most, which are noisy, and which never fire at all and may be set wrong.

  • Searches Logs For You

    Ask what the checkout service logged around the time of the outage and it pulls the matching errors and groups them by cause.

Ask In Your Own Words

Type it in any project chat, or send it from your phone. Your agent works in Datadog for you, with your own login, and reports back in the thread.

  • Why did the payments latency monitor fire at 3 a.m.?
  • Which monitors were the noisiest last week?
  • Show me the errors from the orders service in the hour before the restart.

Questions About Datadog And Your Agents

Does the agent fix problems on its own?

No. It reads and explains. Any change to a monitor, a downtime or a dashboard waits for a person to approve it.

Can I limit what it sees?

Yes. Connect a Datadog user with read access to the teams or services you choose, and the agent sees only that.

Does my agent see my Datadog password?

No. Your Datadog login stays in your Vault, a safe your agents can use but never read. You can remove an agent’s access, or disconnect Datadog, at any time in Settings.
