APM Onboarding Summary
Triggers
Invoke this skill when:
- All steps in
verify-ssi have passed
- All checks in
troubleshoot-ssi have been resolved
- The user asks "is everything working?", "show me the status", or "confirm APM is set up"
Do NOT invoke this skill if any verification or troubleshooting check is still failing — resolve those first.
Context to resolve before acting
| Variable | How to resolve |
|---|
AGENT_NAMESPACE | Namespace where Datadog Agent is installed |
APP_NAMESPACE | Namespace of the application |
APP_LABEL | Check spec.selector.matchLabels.app in the Deployment manifest |
CLUSTER_NAME | spec.global.clusterName in datadog-agent.yaml |
SERVICE_NAME | tags.datadoghq.com/service label on the Deployment |
ENV | tags.datadoghq.com/env label on the Deployment |
DD_SITE | spec.global.site in datadog-agent.yaml |
Prerequisites
Claude runs
pup auth status --site <DD_SITE>
If valid token — proceed.
ERROR: Not authenticated:
Claude runs
pup auth login --site <DD_SITE>
This opens a browser tab for OAuth. Complete the login there — Claude will continue once the command exits.
Collect live confirmation data
Run all of the following. Each populates a row in the final report.
Claude runs
kubectl get pods -n <AGENT_NAMESPACE> \
-l app.kubernetes.io/component=agent \
--no-headers
kubectl get datadogagent datadog -n <AGENT_NAMESPACE> \
-o jsonpath='{.spec.features.apm.instrumentation}'
kubectl get pod -l app=<APP_LABEL> -n <APP_NAMESPACE> \
-o jsonpath='{.items[0].spec.initContainers[*].name}'
kubectl get pod -l app=<APP_LABEL> -n <APP_NAMESPACE> \
-o jsonpath='{.items[0].spec.initContainers[*].name}'
DD_SITE=<DD_SITE> pup apm services list --env <ENV> --from 1h
DD_SITE=<DD_SITE> pup traces search --query "service:<SERVICE_NAME>" --from 1h --limit 5
Present the report
Fill in every value from live command output. Do not leave any placeholder unfilled. If a value cannot be confirmed, mark that row as failed and link to troubleshoot-ssi.
