Open Datadog Logs

A CLI tool that automatically opens Datadog logs in your browser when a request ID is copied to the clipboard.

Description

This tool continuously monitors your clipboard and automatically opens the Datadog logs page in your browser whenever it detects a valid request ID (UUID format) has been copied.

Features

• 🔍 Automatically detects Datadog request IDs in clipboard
• 🌐 Opens Datadog logs page in browser automatically
• 🚀 Can be added to system startup (macOS)
• ⚡ Lightweight and fast

Installation

Using npm

npm install -g @esmyy/open-datadog-logs

After installation (macOS), it's ready to use: it will automatically add itself to system startup (launchd) and start listening to your clipboard.

Just copy a UUID (the clipboard content must be exactly the UUID), and it will automatically open the corresponding Datadog Logs page.

Using pnpm

pnpm add -g @esmyy/open-datadog-logs

After installation (macOS), it's ready to use: it will automatically add itself to system startup (launchd) and start listening to your clipboard.

Just copy a UUID (the clipboard content must be exactly the UUID), and it will automatically open the corresponding Datadog Logs page.

From source

git clone https://github.com/esmyy/open-datadog-logs.git
cd open-datadog-logs
pnpm install

After installation, it will automatically add itself to system startup (macOS).

Usage

After installation on macOS, it will start listening to your clipboard by default. All commands:

| Command | Effect | Notes | |---|---|---| | open-datadog-logs | Start listening in foreground | Keep this terminal open | | open-datadog-logs start | Start listening in foreground | Same as above | | open-datadog-logs add-to-startup | Enable auto-start on macOS (launchd) | Creates/loads ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.esmyy.open-datadog-logs.plist | | open-datadog-logs stop | Stop the launchd listener | Keeps the plist file | | open-datadog-logs remove-from-startup | Disable auto-start | Unloads launchd + deletes the plist file |

How it works

1. The tool monitors your clipboard every second
2. When clipboard content changes, it checks if the content matches a UUID pattern
3. If a valid request ID is detected, it opens https://us5.datadoghq.com/logs?query=@id:{requestId} in your default browser

Request ID Format

The tool recognizes UUID format (clipboard content should be exactly the UUID):

xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx

Where:

• x is any hexadecimal digit

Configuration

Currently, the tool is configured to use the US5 Datadog region (us5.datadoghq.com). To change the Datadog region, modify the URL in index.js.

Requirements

• Node.js
• macOS, Linux, or Windows
