Enables placing Datadog Live Debugger log probes on running services to capture arguments, locals, and custom capture expressions in real time. The skill documents CLI workflows for creating probes, streaming events, and cleaning up probes so an agent can instrument production code safely and temporarily.
Use when you need to inspect runtime values without redeploying: debugging production-only issues, validating inputs, or capturing intermittent failures. Trigger when asked about Datadog probes, live debugging, or capturing runtime data.
Best for CLI-capable agents and observability-focused assistants (agents that can invoke shell commands, use Datadog APIs, or orchestrate probes).
Datadog Live Debugger skill provides comprehensive CLI reference for placing log probes on running services via the pup debugger tool. No bundled scripts — purely a reference/documentation skill. Well-structured with clear workflow, options tables, and failure handling guidance. Requires Datadog account and pup CLI installation.
Clean reference skill. Example shows placeholder API keys in export statements which is fine. No security concerns. Template syntax uses shell-safe variable interpolation. Skill is documentation-only with no executable scripts.
