datadog-agent check     

A Datadog Agent check is a plugin that collects data from a specific source and sends it to the Datadog Agent. These checks can be customized and configured to monitor various metrics and events related to your infrastructure and applications.

datadog-agent completion  

The datadog-agent completion command is used to generate shell completion scripts for the Datadog Agent command-line interface (CLI).

Shell completion allows you to save time and avoid typing errors by automatically completing command options, flags, and arguments as you type. When you run the datadog-agent completion command, it will output the completion script in the shell format that you specify as an argument, such as Bash, Zsh, or Fish.

Here are some use cases for the datadog-agent completion command:

  1. Completing commands and options: When you are working with the Datadog Agent CLI, you may find it time-consuming to type out all of the command options and flags. By using shell completion, you can quickly complete the options and flags as you type, saving time and reducing errors.
  2. Improving productivity: Shell completion can help you be more productive by completing commands and options quickly and accurately. You don’t have to remember all of the available options and flags, which can be especially helpful when you are using the CLI infrequently.
  3. Learning the Datadog Agent CLI: If you are new to the Datadog Agent CLI, using shell completion can help you learn the available options and flags more quickly. As you type, you can see the available options and flags, which can help you understand the capabilities of the CLI.
