Seeded state
Seed monitors, dashboards, logs, metrics, events, incidents, SLOs, users, roles, and service definitions.
Interfaces
Use Datadog in staging without using production.
Validate telemetry investigation, monitoring, and incident-response workflows
Seed observability resources with deterministic state and controlled failures
Test Datadog API and Pup CLI workflows without changing production monitoring
Provision the Datadog twin from the CLI.
Install the Arga CLI, sign in once, then create a 60-minute twin run. The command waits until the environment is ready and prints its connection details.
Terminal
$ uv tool install arga-cli$ arga login$ arga twin-runs create --twins datadog --ttl 60 --waitAdd --scenario-prompt to describe the state the twin should start with.
Build with the Datadog twin
Connect the twin, seed realistic state, and run scenarios against a resettable service.
