Datadog Raycast Extension

This is a simple Raycast extension for Datadog users, focused on loading dashboards from a list defined in a config file.

It provides these commands:

• Configure Datadog Dashboard List to edit the config file
• Open Datadog Dashboard displays a searchable list of the configured dashboards for quick access
• Insert Datadog Graph from Clipboard pastes a markdown link and the opengraph image for a datadog graph URL as copied from a dashboard. This is useful both in issue writeups on GitHub and notes apps such as Obsidian.

Installation

• Clone this repo
• npm install
• npm run build
• Run the Import Extension raycast command and point it at this directory.

Dashboard configuration

Basic dashboards are just name -> path mappings. No leading slash needed:

dashboards:
  "web status": "dashboard/abc-def-ghi"
  "request errors": "dashboard/qrs-tuv-wxy"

It's also common for dashboards to take parameters, e.g. a database cluster name. This can be defined using a %% placeholder:

dashboards:
  "database cluster overview":
    path: "dashboard/abc-def-ghi?tpl_var_cluster=%%"
    options:
      - production
      - staging

Note that paths aren't required to be dashboards, you can link to notebooks, monitors, or anything else under the app.datadoghq.com domain.

A default config file will be created for you when you first load the dashboard command.
