Datadog ACTION

Search Events

Search Datadog events: monitor state changes, deployment markers, error spikes, and infrastructure events. Filter by sources (e.g. nagios,docker), tags (e.g. env:prod,service:web), and priority (normal or low). Time range defaults to last 24h (POSIX timestamps in seconds). To investigate a monitor alert, use Search Monitors first, then search events for the relevant time range. Follow up with Search Logs for deeper investigation. See the docs

IMPLEMENTATION

Call this tool

Connect a user's Datadog account once, then configure and run Search Events from your backend or agent.

import { PipedreamClient } from "@pipedream/sdk"

const pd = new PipedreamClient({
  projectId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_PROJECT_ID!,
  clientId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_ID!,
  clientSecret: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_SECRET!,
  projectEnvironment: "production",
})

const result = await pd.actions.run({
  id: "datadog-search-events",
  externalUserId: "{external_user_id}", // any stable ID for this user in your system
  configuredProps: {
    datadog: { authProvisionId: "apn_xxxxxxx" },
    region: "Region",
    start: 10,
  },
})

console.log(result)
