Intended to be a repository for miscellaneous scripts and tools from Datadog to be shared with the public.
These projects are not a part of Datadog's subscription services and are provided for example purposes only. They are NOT guaranteed to be bug free and are not production quality. If you choose to use to adapt them for use in a production environment, you do so at your own risk.
When adding a new script/tool, be sure to do the following:
- Open a PR for review
- Add a link and description to one of the tables above
We encourage creating a subfolder with a separate README that gives more details on the script/tool.
These scripts and tools live in this repo, some scripts/tools have their own README in their subfolder with further explaintation and usage.
