What this skill tells the agent

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

VariableHow to resolve
AGENT_NAMESPACENamespace where Datadog Agent is installed
APP_NAMESPACENamespace of the application
APP_LABELCheck spec.selector.matchLabels.app in the Deployment manifest
CLUSTER_NAMEspec.global.clusterName in datadog-agent.yaml
SERVICE_NAMEtags.datadoghq.com/service label on the Deployment
ENVtags.datadoghq.com/env label on the Deployment
DD_SITEspec.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

# Agent pod count and status
kubectl get pods -n <AGENT_NAMESPACE> \
  -l app.kubernetes.io/component=agent \
  --no-headers

# SSI instrumentation config live in cluster
kubectl get datadogagent datadog -n <AGENT_NAMESPACE> \
  -o jsonpath='{.spec.features.apm.instrumentation}'

# Init container confirmed in app pod spec
kubectl get pod -l app=<APP_LABEL> -n <APP_NAMESPACE> \
  -o jsonpath='{.items[0].spec.initContainers[*].name}'

# Service visible and traced in APM
DD_SITE=<DD_SITE> pup apm services list --env <ENV> --from 1h

# Traces arriving in the last hour
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.
