# Datadog Anomaly Detector

Leverages the Datadog API v2 metrics and events endpoints to detect anomalous patterns. Uses the Datadog Monitors API to create dynamic thresholds and sends escalations via OpsGenie REST API.

## 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
