# Datadog Windows PowerShell equivalents for the Datadog `curl`, environment-variable, timestamp, and JSON formatting snippets are in `references/windows.md`. <IMPORTANT> Before performing any Datadog operations, first check if the required environment variables are set: ```bash [ -n "$DD_API_KEY" ] && echo "DD_API_KEY is set" || echo "DD_API_KEY is NOT set" [ -n "$DD_APP_KEY" ] && echo "DD_APP_KEY is set" || echo "DD_APP_KEY is NOT set" [ -n "$DD_SITE" ] && echo "DD_SITE is set" || echo "DD_SITE is NOT set" ``` If any of these variables are missing, ask the user to provide them before proceeding: - **DD_API_KEY**: Datadog API key - **DD_APP_KEY**: Datadog Application key - **DD_SITE**: Datadog site (e.g., `datadoghq.com`, `datadoghq.eu`, `us3.datadoghq.com`) </IMPORTANT> ## Authentication Headers ```bash -H "DD-API-KEY: ${DD_API_KEY}" \ -H "DD-APPLICATION-KEY: ${DD_APP_KEY}" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" ``` ## Query Logs ```bash curl -s -X POST "https://api.${DD_SITE}/api/v2/logs/events/search" \ -H "DD-API-KEY: ${DD_API_KEY}" \ -H "DD-APPLICATION-KEY: ${DD_APP_KEY}" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{ "filter": { "query": "service:my-service status:error", "from": "now-1h", "to": "now" }, "sort": "-timestamp", "page": {"limit": 50} }' | jq . ``` ## Query Metrics ```bash curl -s -G "https://api.${DD_SITE}/api/v1/query" \ -H "DD-API-KEY: ${DD_API_KEY}" \ -H "DD-APPLICATION-KEY: ${DD_APP_KEY}" \ --data-urlencode "query=avg:system.cpu.user{*}" \ --data-urlencode "from=$(date -d '1 hour ago' +%s)" \ --data-urlencode "to=$(date +%s)" | jq . ``` ## Query APM Traces ```bash curl -s -X POST "https://api.${DD_SITE}/api/v2/spans/events/search" \ -H "DD-API-KEY: ${DD_API_KEY}" \ -H "DD-APPLICATION-KEY: ${DD_APP_KEY}" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{ "filter": { "query": "service:my-service", "from": "now-1h", "to": "now" }, "sort": "-timestamp", "page": {"limit": 25} }' | jq . ``` ## List Monitors ```bash curl -s -G "https://api.${DD_SITE}/api/v1/monitor" \ -H "DD-API-KEY: ${DD_API_KEY}" \ -H "DD-APPLICATION-KEY: ${DD_APP_KEY}" | jq . ``` ## Documentation - [Logs API](https://docs.datadoghq.com/api/latest/logs/) - [Metrics API](https://docs.datadoghq.com/api/latest/metrics/) - [APM/Tracing API](https://docs.datadoghq.com/api/latest/tracing/) - [Monitors API](https://docs.datadoghq.com/api/latest/monitors/) - [Events API](https://docs.datadoghq.com/api/latest/events/) - [Dashboards API](https://docs.datadoghq.com/api/latest/dashboards/)
