Datadog-API-Shell

A few handy Shell scripts leveraging the Datadog API and cURL

git clone git@github.com:starryknight620/Datadog-API-Shell.git

Pre-requisites

• A working terminal with cURL installed

• Your Datadog API Key and Application Key in a sticky/note for easy copy/paste. We'll be using them a few times so make sure to have them handy. This will be used to populate the following env vars in your script:

• DD_API_KEY

• DD_APP_KEY

• jq installed to parse your JSON output, see below for install steps with brew

• If you have brew installed:

brew install jq

• Otherwise, review the steps to install jq here: https://jqlang.github.io/jq/download/

• Run the following commands to make the .sh scripts executable:

chmod +x *.sh

• The following commands will execute the scripts. We'll run them one by one in the following order:

# to create our tests
./synthetics_api.sh 

# to get the test IDs
./get_test.sh 

# to pause the tests from running
./synthetics_bulk_pause.sh
