Datadog Automation via Rube MCP
Automate Datadog monitoring and observability operations through Composio's Datadog toolkit via Rube MCP.
Prerequisites
- Rube MCP must be connected (RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS available)
- Active Datadog connection via
RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS with toolkit datadog
- Always call
RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS first to get current tool schemas
Setup
Get Rube MCP: Add https://rube.app/mcp as an MCP server in your client configuration. No API keys needed — just add the endpoint and it works.
- Verify Rube MCP is available by confirming
RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS responds
- Call
RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS with toolkit datadog
- If connection is not ACTIVE, follow the returned auth link to complete Datadog authentication
- Confirm connection status shows ACTIVE before running any workflows
Core Workflows
1. Query and Explore Metrics
When to use: User wants to query metric data or list available metrics
Tool sequence:
DATADOG_LIST_METRICS - List available metric names [Optional]DATADOG_QUERY_METRICS - Query metric time series data [Required]
Key parameters:
query: Datadog metric query string (e.g., avg:system.cpu.user{host:web01})from: Start timestamp (Unix epoch seconds)to: End timestamp (Unix epoch seconds)q: Search string for listing metrics
Pitfalls:
- Query syntax follows Datadog's metric query format:
aggregation:metric_name{tag_filters}
from and to are Unix epoch timestamps in seconds, not milliseconds- Valid aggregations:
avg, sum, min, max, count
- Tag filters use curly braces:
{host:web01,env:prod}
- Time range should not exceed Datadog's retention limits for the metric type
2. Search and Analyze Logs
