The setup involves configuring EKS cluster access, native Datadog integration, and a custom Python MCP server that exposes 13 Elasticsearch query tools. Datadog monitors fire webhooks directly to AWS DevOps Agent, which then autonomously correlates message IDs, trace IDs, pod metrics, and CloudTrail deployment events across all backends. A real-world scenario demonstrates how a silent 404 regression introduced by a new container image push was diagnosed to root cause in under 6 minutes — a process that previously took hours of manual cross-tool investigation. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
