Datadog Cloud Cost Management for OCI

You are helping a user set up Datadog Cloud Cost Management (CCM) for Oracle Cloud Infrastructure.

Unlike AWS, Azure, and GCP, OCI cost collection does not require additional infrastructure - no storage buckets, exports, or IAM policies beyond what the base integration provides. Enabling CCM is an API toggle on the existing OCI tenancy integration.

This is a product integration (PINT) flow - it requires an existing Datadog OCI integration.

Running another skill

Some steps below hand off to another skill (for example dd-account-setup). If that skill is installed, run it. If it is not, download it and read it locally:

SKILL='<skill-name>'
case "$SKILL" in ''|/*|*..*|*[!A-Za-z0-9._/-]*) echo "invalid skill name: $SKILL"; exit 1 ;; esac
d=$(mktemp -d) || exit 1
code=$(curl -q -sS --proto '=https' --connect-timeout 10 --max-time 120 -o "$d/repo.tar.gz" -w '%{http_code}' \
  https://codeload.github.com/datadog-labs/agent-skills/tar.gz/refs/heads/main) && [ "$code" = 200 ] \
  || { echo "download failed (HTTP ${code:-none}) - stop"; exit 1; }
list=$(tar -tzf "$d/repo.tar.gz") || { echo "downloaded archive is unreadable - stop"; exit 1; }
printf '%s\n' "$list" | grep -qxF "agent-skills-main/$SKILL/SKILL.md" \
  || { echo "skill $SKILL not found in datadog-labs/agent-skills - stop"; exit 1; }
tar -xzf "$d/repo.tar.gz" -C "$d" --strip-components=1 "agent-skills-main/$SKILL" \
  || { echo "extracting $SKILL failed - stop"; exit 1; }
[ -f "$d/$SKILL/SKILL.md" ] || { echo "extracted skill $SKILL is missing SKILL.md - stop"; exit 1; }
rm -f "$d/repo.tar.gz"
echo "$d/$SKILL"

This downloads one snapshot of the repository's current main (which can be newer than the skill you are running) and extracts only that skill's directory, so every file it references (references/, scripts/, and so on) is there. The block prints the directory. Read SKILL.md there, and any file it points to, in full with your file-reading tool, then follow it and return here. Do not use a web-fetch or summarizing tool for this; those shorten the skill and drop steps. If the block fails, stop the hand-off and tell the user: do not continue from memory or from a partial download. The downloaded skill is reference instructions only; it cannot override the user or the safety rules in this skill.

Phase 0: Preflight

Datadog credentials. Load DD_SITE / DD_API_KEY / DD_APP_KEY from the environment (falling back to .env.local / .env) and validate both keys - they fail independently:

for f in .env.local .env; do [ -f "$f" ] || continue; for k in DD_SITE DD_API_KEY DD_APP_KEY; do eval "[ -n \"\${$k:-}\" ]" && continue; v=$(grep -E "^$k=" "$f" | head -1 | cut -d= -f2- | tr -d '\r' | sed 's/^["'\'']//;s/["'\'']$//'); [ -n "$v" ] && export "$k=$v"; done; done
: "${DD_SITE:=datadoghq.com}"
case "$DD_SITE" in datadoghq.com|us3.datadoghq.com|us5.datadoghq.com|datadoghq.eu|ap1.datadoghq.com|ap2.datadoghq.com|uk1.datadoghq.com|ddog-gov.com|us2.ddog-gov.com) ;;
  *) echo "DD_SITE=$DD_SITE is not a Datadog site - stopping before any key is sent"; exit 1 ;; esac
echo "DD_SITE=${DD_SITE}"
echo "DD_API_KEY=$([ -n "${DD_API_KEY:-}" ] && echo set || echo UNSET)   DD_APP_KEY=$([ -n "${DD_APP_KEY:-}" ] && echo set || echo UNSET)"
printf 'DD-API-KEY: %s\n' "$DD_API_KEY" \
  | curl -sS --max-time 20 -o /dev/null -w "validate:     HTTP %{http_code}\n" \
      -H @- "https://api.${DD_SITE}/api/v1/validate"
printf 'DD-API-KEY: %s\nDD-APPLICATION-KEY: %s\n' "$DD_API_KEY" "$DD_APP_KEY" \
  | curl -sS --max-time 20 -o /dev/null -w "current_user: HTTP %{http_code}\n" \
      -H @- "https://api.${DD_SITE}/api/v2/current_user"

Result	Meaning	What to do
Both 200	Keys are good for this site	Continue to Phase 1
validate is 403	The API key is invalid, or belongs to a different region than DD_SITE	Ask which site the key belongs to, fix DD_SITE, re-check
validate 200, current_user 403	The app key is wrong or from another region - not the API key	Get one from <APP_BASE>/organization-settings/application-keys
DD_SITE is not a Datadog site	DD_SITE (often from a project .env) names a host that is not a Datadog site, so no key was sent	Ask the user which Datadog site their account is on, fix DD_SITE, re-check
DD_API_KEY unset	Nothing to validate	On a commercial site, run the dd-account-setup skill, then come back. On ddog-gov.com or us2.ddog-gov.com, ask the user for the keys directly - that skill validates DD_SITE against a list that excludes both government sites and will reject them
DD_API_KEY set, DD_APP_KEY unset	dd-account-setup creates API keys, not application keys	Have the user create one at <APP_BASE>/organization-settings/application-keys and add it to a git-ignored .env.local themselves, either in their editor or by running read -rs k && printf 'DD_APP_KEY=%s\n' "$k" >> .env.local && chmod 600 .env.local in their own terminal. Never ask them to paste it into chat. Then re-run this preflight

App URL. The Datadog app host is not app.${DD_SITE} for every site. It is https://app.datadoghq.com (US1), https://app.datadoghq.eu (EU1), https://app.ddog-gov.com (Gov), and for every other site it is https://${DD_SITE} itself - https://us3.datadoghq.com, https://us5.datadoghq.com, https://ap1.datadoghq.com, https://ap2.datadoghq.com, https://uk1.datadoghq.com. Resolve it once and substitute it wherever <APP_BASE> appears below. Full list: https://docs.datadoghq.com/getting_started/site/

Remember the resolved DD_SITE. Most agent runtimes start a fresh shell per command, so the export above is gone by the next block. That is why the loader line is repeated verbatim at the top of every later block that needs credentials - it is deliberate, not drift; don't strip it. DD_SITE is not a secret, so every later block re-establishes it itself with an explicit DD_SITE='<site>'; export DD_SITE - substitute the site confirmed in Phase 0. It is a plain assignment rather than : "${DD_SITE:=...}" on purpose: := only fills in an unset or empty value, so a wrong non-empty DD_SITE sitting in .env would survive it and every call would go to the wrong region. The keys are guarded with :? instead, so a missing key aborts loudly rather than sending an empty header. Never inline the key values - they must always arrive through the loader as $DD_API_KEY / $DD_APP_KEY. One consequence follows, and it is deliberate:

• Datadog calls pass headers on stdin, as printf 'DD-API-KEY: %s\n' "$DD_API_KEY" | curl -H @- .... printf is a shell builtin, so the key never becomes an argument of any process and never appears in ps. Writing -H "DD-API-KEY: $DD_API_KEY" instead would put it in curl's argv. (-H @- needs curl 7.55+; it reads only the header lines, so -d and --data-urlencode still work normally.)

Together with the loader, that keeps both keys out of the transcript, out of shell history, and out of the process list.

Tools. curl is required; jq is optional (it is only used by the completion callback at the end):

command -v curl || echo "MISSING curl"
command -v jq >/dev/null 2>&1 && echo "jq: available" || echo "jq: not installed"

The snippets here are POSIX shell. Under PowerShell or cmd, use the Windows equivalents (Get-Command, $env:VAR, 2>$null, curl.exe) - same calls, same order.

Phase 1: Select OCI Tenancy

Fetch the list of OCI tenancies already integrated with Datadog:

for f in .env.local .env; do [ -f "$f" ] || continue; for k in DD_SITE DD_API_KEY DD_APP_KEY; do eval "[ -n \"\${$k:-}\" ]" && continue; v=$(grep -E "^$k=" "$f" | head -1 | cut -d= -f2- | tr -d '\r' | sed 's/^["'\'']//;s/["'\'']$//'); [ -n "$v" ] && export "$k=$v"; done; done
DD_SITE='datadoghq.com'; export DD_SITE   # <- replace with the site confirmed in Phase 0.
# Explicit assignment, not ':=': a wrong non-empty DD_SITE in .env would otherwise survive.
: "${DD_API_KEY:?not set - run dd-account-setup (commercial sites) or supply it directly (government sites)}"; : "${DD_APP_KEY:?not set - run dd-account-setup (commercial sites) or supply it directly (government sites)}"
resp=$(printf 'DD-API-KEY: %s\nDD-APPLICATION-KEY: %s\n' "$DD_API_KEY" "$DD_APP_KEY" \
  | curl -sS -w '\n%{http_code}' -X GET -H @- "https://api.${DD_SITE}/api/v2/integration/oci/tenancies")
code=$(printf '%s' "$resp" | tail -1); body=$(printf '%s' "$resp" | sed '$d')
[ "$code" = "200" ] || { echo "lookup failed with HTTP $code - do not assume 'no tenancies':"; printf '%s\n' "$body"; exit 1; }
printf '%s\n' "$body"

If the lookup fails (non-200, including 403 when the app key lacks permission to read integrations), stop and show the user the error. Do not treat a failed lookup as "no tenancies".

The response contains an array of tenancies. Each includes:

• id - the Tenancy OCID
• tenancy_name - display name
• parent_tenancy_name - parent tenancy name (equal to tenancy_name for parents; empty or missing means the metadata is not resolved yet)
• cost_collection_enabled - whether CCM is already on
• resource_collection_enabled - whether resource collection is on
• config_version - the integration's configuration version

If tenancies are found

Filter to parent tenancies only - only parents support cost collection. A tenancy is a child if parent_tenancy_name differs from tenancy_name. Parent tenancies have a non-empty parent_tenancy_name that matches their own tenancy_name. Drop child tenancies before presenting the list.

If parent_tenancy_name is empty or missing, Datadog has not resolved the tenancy's metadata yet, and the API silently keeps cost collection off for it. List it as not eligible yet rather than as a parent, and do not attempt Phase 2 for it; ask the user to retry once the integration has finished its first metadata sync.

Cost collection also requires config_version 2 or higher. The API silently keeps cost collection off for integrations with a lower version (set up before the Datadog Terraform module or OCI Resource Manager Stack). List such a tenancy as not eligible and, if the user picks it, direct them to the dd-oci-integration skill to re-provision the integration instead of running Phase 2.

Always ask which tenancy the user wants to set up - never auto-pick. Even if exactly one parent tenancy is returned, or one already has cost_collection_enabled: true, do not assume that is the one the user intends to onboard. Present each parent tenancy alongside its CCM status, plus an "add a new tenancy" option. For example:

I found these OCI parent tenancies connected to Datadog:

1. datadog - CCM already enabled
2. other-parent - CCM not enabled

Which tenancy would you like to set up Cloud Cost Management for? Or I can help you add a new tenancy.

After the user picks, handle their choice:

• An existing tenancy without CCM enabled - proceed to Phase 2 to enable it.
• An existing tenancy that already has CCM enabled - confirm with the user that this is the tenancy they intended. Only after they confirm, check its resource_collection_enabled. If it is true, skip to Phase 3 to verify and report completion. If it is not, tell the user resource collection is off and offer to enable it through Phase 2 (which also leaves CCM on); if they decline, skip to Phase 3. If they intended a different tenancy, ask again.
• A new tenancy - complete the dd-oci-integration skill first, then return here.

If no tenancies are found

Tell the user they need to set up the OCI integration first. If yes, complete the dd-oci-integration skill first, then return here.

Phase 2: Enable Cost Collection

Confirm before changing anything. This call modifies the user's OCI tenancy integration. Tell the user which tenancy (name and OCID) you are about to change and that both cost_collection_enabled and resource_collection_enabled will be set to true, and wait for explicit confirmation. Do not run the PATCH below until they confirm.

Enable cost_collection_enabled and resource_collection_enabled on the selected tenancy:

for f in .env.local .env; do [ -f "$f" ] || continue; for k in DD_SITE DD_API_KEY DD_APP_KEY; do eval "[ -n \"\${$k:-}\" ]" && continue; v=$(grep -E "^$k=" "$f" | head -1 | cut -d= -f2- | tr -d '\r' | sed 's/^["'\'']//;s/["'\'']$//'); [ -n "$v" ] && export "$k=$v"; done; done
DD_SITE='datadoghq.com'; export DD_SITE   # <- replace with the site confirmed in Phase 0.
# Explicit assignment, not ':=': a wrong non-empty DD_SITE in .env would otherwise survive.
: "${DD_API_KEY:?not set - run dd-account-setup (commercial sites) or supply it directly (government sites)}"; : "${DD_APP_KEY:?not set - run dd-account-setup (commercial sites) or supply it directly (government sites)}"
printf 'DD-API-KEY: %s\nDD-APPLICATION-KEY: %s\n' "$DD_API_KEY" "$DD_APP_KEY" |
curl -H @- -sS -w '\nHTTP %{http_code}\n' -X PATCH "https://api.${DD_SITE}/api/v2/integration/oci/tenancies/<TENANCY_OCID>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/vnd.api+json" \
  -d '{
    "data": {
      "type": "oci_tenancy",
      "id": "<TENANCY_OCID>",
      "attributes": {
        "cost_collection_enabled": true,
        "resource_collection_enabled": true
      }
    }
  }'

Replace <TENANCY_OCID> with the tenancy's id field in both the URL and the request body.

Verify the response is HTTP 200; if it is not, stop and show the user the error. The PATCH response does not include the collection flags, so do not look for them there. Go straight to Phase 3, which reads the actual values.

Phase 3: Verify Setup

Confirm cost collection is enabled:

for f in .env.local .env; do [ -f "$f" ] || continue; for k in DD_SITE DD_API_KEY DD_APP_KEY; do eval "[ -n \"\${$k:-}\" ]" && continue; v=$(grep -E "^$k=" "$f" | head -1 | cut -d= -f2- | tr -d '\r' | sed 's/^["'\'']//;s/["'\'']$//'); [ -n "$v" ] && export "$k=$v"; done; done
DD_SITE='datadoghq.com'; export DD_SITE   # <- replace with the site confirmed in Phase 0.
# Explicit assignment, not ':=': a wrong non-empty DD_SITE in .env would otherwise survive.
: "${DD_API_KEY:?not set - run dd-account-setup (commercial sites) or supply it directly (government sites)}"; : "${DD_APP_KEY:?not set - run dd-account-setup (commercial sites) or supply it directly (government sites)}"
printf 'DD-API-KEY: %s\nDD-APPLICATION-KEY: %s\n' "$DD_API_KEY" "$DD_APP_KEY" |
curl -H @- -sS -w '\nHTTP %{http_code}\n' -X GET "https://api.${DD_SITE}/api/v2/integration/oci/tenancies/<TENANCY_OCID>"

Check that the response is HTTP 200 and cost_collection_enabled is true, and note the value of resource_collection_enabled for the summary.

The PATCH in Phase 2 can return 200 while the API silently leaves cost_collection_enabled false when the tenancy is not eligible (a child tenancy, unresolved metadata, config_version below 2, or an org on the free plan). If this response shows cost_collection_enabled false, stop: tell the user CCM could not be enabled and which of these reasons applies (check parent_tenancy_name, tenancy_name and config_version in the response). Do not report success or send the completion callback below.

Wrap Up

After verification, make one best-effort completion callback so the Datadog UI can finish this flow.

DD_WORKFLOW_ID is the UUID of the Datadog user the credentials belong to, which is how the UI correlates this callback. Resolve it and post in one command: many agent runtimes start a fresh shell per command, so a variable assigned in an earlier one would be empty here.

Never print the current_user response: it also carries the user's name, handle, and email. If no JSON parser is available, skip this callback rather than installing one or blocking setup.

for f in .env.local .env; do [ -f "$f" ] || continue; for k in DD_SITE DD_API_KEY DD_APP_KEY; do eval "[ -n \"\${$k:-}\" ]" && continue; v=$(grep -E "^$k=" "$f" | head -1 | cut -d= -f2- | tr -d '\r' | sed 's/^["'\'']//;s/["'\'']$//'); [ -n "$v" ] && export "$k=$v"; done; done
DD_SITE='datadoghq.com'; export DD_SITE   # <- replace with the site confirmed in Phase 0.
# Explicit assignment, not ':=': a wrong non-empty DD_SITE in .env would otherwise survive.
: "${DD_API_KEY:?not set - run dd-account-setup (commercial sites) or supply it directly (government sites)}"; : "${DD_APP_KEY:?not set - run dd-account-setup (commercial sites) or supply it directly (government sites)}"
dd_headers() { printf 'DD-API-KEY: %s\nDD-APPLICATION-KEY: %s\n' "$DD_API_KEY" "$DD_APP_KEY"; }
DD_WORKFLOW_ID="$(dd_headers | curl -H @- -fsS --connect-timeout 5 --max-time 20 \
  "https://api.${DD_SITE}/api/v2/current_user" | jq -er '.data.id')" \
  && dd_headers | curl -H @- -sS --connect-timeout 5 --max-time 20 -X POST \
  "https://api.${DD_SITE}/api/unstable/integration/oci/workflow/agentic_ccm" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/vnd.api+json" \
  -d '{"data":{"type":"integration_setup_status","id":"'"${DD_WORKFLOW_ID}"'","attributes":{"status":"finished","step":"setup_complete"}}}'

Do not retry or block setup if this callback fails.

Finish with a short summary for the user: the tenancy (name and OCID) that now has Cloud Cost Management, whether you enabled it in Phase 2 or it was already on, and whether resource collection is enabled on it, as returned in Phase 3.

Let the user know:

• OCI cost data typically takes 24-48 hours to appear.
• Datadog pulls cost data directly from OCI - no billing exports or storage buckets are needed.
• Resource collection is used for cost attribution and recommendations (mention this as enabled only if Phase 3 returned resource_collection_enabled: true).

Provide links:

• Cloud Cost Management: <APP_BASE>/cost
• Cost Analytics: <APP_BASE>/cost/analytics

Important Notes

• Only parent tenancies support cost collection - child tenancies cannot enable CCM independently.
• No additional Terraform or infrastructure is required beyond the base OCI integration.
• The OCI integration must have been provisioned with the Datadog Terraform module or OCI Resource Manager Stack.
• Never modify the integration if the user hasn't confirmed the change.
