Datadog observability skills for designing, redesigning, and auditing dashboards with proper widget selection, layout patterns, template variables, and operational readiness validation using the pup CLI, and for checking metrics against Datadog's no-cost metrics before creating custom ones
Check whether a metric is already collected by Datadog at no extra cost before defining a new one, and estimate its custom metric count when it is not. Use before adding a metric to a semantic convention registry, instrumenting a new metric, or reviewing metrics exported to Datadog. Do not use for: (1) metric naming, (2) dashboard or monitor design, (3) Datadog Agent or Collector installation.
Design new Datadog dashboards, redesign existing ones, or audit dashboards for operational readiness. Covers widget selection, layout organization, template variables, group structure, tab organization, alert threshold validation, and zero-knowledge readability. Uses pup CLI for inspecting dashboards and validating designs. Use when designing new dashboards, redesigning existing ones, auditing before on-call handoff, or reviewing after dashboard changes. Do not use for: (1) Datadog agent installation or configuration, (2) monitor/alert rule design, (3) APM instrumentation or tracing setup, (4) log pipeline configuration.
