Datadog Alert Triage Agent with Claude Code

The instruction doing the most work here bans a very natural sentence: two monitors fired ninety seconds apart, therefore the first caused the second. The agent may report the timing and may not draw the line, and it has to quote values exactly with the window they cover. Claude Code holds a rule like that under pressure and plans the whole gather before it writes a word.

Live demo

Watch it work before it's live

Run a staged conversation — no account needed. The agent handles it for real while a simulated world answers its tool calls; nothing touches real accounts, and nothing is actually sent.

A considered pairing

Why Claude Code for this agent

Correlation stays correlation

Timing gets reported and causation does not get asserted. Whoever is on call reads a note telling them what is true rather than one that has already chosen a story.

Four sources before the note

The event, the monitor definition, the metric across the window and the hour before it, and open incidents on the service. Carrying that gather into five short lines is structured work this harness is reliable on.

Good to know

Before you fork

What if the logs query times out during a real incident?

The run fails and no note is posted, which beats a note with a blank evidence line reading as though nothing was wrong. Your Datadog monitor still fires through its normal channels, so this is never the only path an alert takes. Failed runs show in the run history, and a pattern of them usually means the application key has lost a scope.
