# Datadog Anomaly Alert Router

Routes Datadog anomaly detection alerts to appropriate response channels using the Datadog Events API v2 and Monitors API. Applies severity-based escalation rules with PagerDuty and Slack webhook integration.

## Installation

Use the upstream install or setup path that matches your environment:
- $ npm install dd-trace
- $ yarn add dd-trace
- $ npm install dd-trace@4 # or whatever version you need
- $ yarn add dd-trace@4 # or whatever version you need

Requirements and caveats from upstream:
- # dd-trace: Node.js APM Tracer Library
- dd-trace is an npm package that you can install in your Node.js application to capture APM (Application Performance Monitoring) data. In Datadog terminology this library is called a Tracer. This data is then sent off...
- [Tracing Node.js Applications](https://docs.datadoghq.com/tracing/languages/nodejs/) - most project documentation, including setup instructions

Basic usage or getting-started notes:
- [API Documentation](https://datadog.github.io/dd-trace-js) - method signatures, plugin list, and some usage examples
