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.
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:

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.
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:

|---|---|---|
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.

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 / $DD_APP_KEY. One consequence follows, and it is
deliberate:
printf 'DD-API-KEY: %s\n' "$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.
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

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 OCIDtenancy_name - display nameparent_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 onresource_collection_enabled - whether resource collection is onconfig_version - the integration’s configuration versionFilter 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:
- datadog - CCM already enabled
- 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:
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.dd-oci-integration skill now and follow it through its own apply and verification, then return to the integration lookup at the start of Phase 1: select and confirm the newly added target, record its identifiers, and repeat every check after that lookup. The cost-collection PATCH in Phase 2 is a separate step: send it only after that lookup has been re-run and the new tenancy has been selected and confirmed.Tell the user they need to set up the OCI integration first. If yes, load the dd-oci-integration skill now and follow it through its own apply and verification, then return to the integration lookup at the start of Phase 1: select and confirm the newly added target, record its identifiers, and repeat every check after that lookup. The cost-collection PATCH in Phase 2 is a separate step: send it only after that lookup has been re-run and the new tenancy has been selected and confirmed.
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

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.
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.
