Description
Corrects the wrong defaults a model has when building Datadog dashboards, verified against Datadog's docs in July 2026. Use when creating, editing, or reviewing a Datadog dashboard — choosing widgets, writing metric/log/span queries, or emitting widget JSON. Covers the queries that render a plausible number and are still wrong — `.as_count()` is appended automatically in the graph editor but never through the API, so programmatic counts silently average; `p95` resolves only on distribution metrics, and averaging one is an average of averages; ratios need `.as_count()` on both sides or they divide interpolated averages. Also covers grounding queries in metrics that exist rather than invented names, wire type strings that diverge from UI names (Pie Chart is `sunburst`, Table is `query_table`), and Datadog's own layout standard. Assumes the Datadog MCP server is connected. NOT for Terraform or raw Dashboard API management, monitor and SLO authoring, or non-Datadog observability tools.
