Write end-to-end tests for the Datadog Agent using the test/e2e-framework/ framework. Parse $ARGUMENTS to determine what to test.

Where to find what you need

What	Where
Framework API (environments, provisioners, agentparams)	`test/e2e-framework/AGENTS.md`
Fakeintake API (payload types, client methods, extending)	`test/fakeintake/AGENTS.md`
Setup, prerequisites, running tests	`docs/public/how-to/test/e2e.md`
Real tests to use as patterns	`test/new-e2e/tests/` (see lookup table in e2e-framework AGENTS.md)
Check system overview	root `AGENTS.md` § "Check System"
Test placement / team ownership	`CODEOWNERS`
CI job definitions	`.gitlab/test/e2e/e2e.yml`, `.gitlab/windows/test/e2e/windows.yml`
CI trigger rules	`.gitlab-ci.yml` (search for `.on_*_or_e2e_changes`)
Examples	`test/new-e2e/examples/`

Read the first two files before writing any test. Browse examples and a few real tests that match your use case.

Checklist

Read the feature's implementation to understand what payloads it sends
Check if E2E tests already exist under test/new-e2e/tests/
Place tests in the right <area> directory (check CODEOWNERS); one file per platform target (e.g., disk_nix_test.go, disk_win_test.go)
Verify compilation: cd test/new-e2e && go vet ./tests/<area>/...
Run the test locally before pushing — compilation alone is not enough: dda inv new-e2e-tests.run --targets=./tests/<area>/... See test/e2e-framework/AGENTS.md § "Validating E2E tests" if it fails
Check CI wiring: grep -n 'TARGETS:.*<area>' .gitlab/test/e2e/e2e.yml

Output

Show the user: files created, how to compile-check, how to run locally (dda inv new-e2e-tests.run --targets=./tests/<area>/...), and whether CI changes are needed.
