Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Search Spans Analytics
Search and analyze span data with aggregations in datadog. this action uses the datadog spans analytics api to perform advanced queries and aggregations on trace span data. it's essential for: - analyzing error rates and latency patterns - understanding service dependencies and bottlenecks - root cause analysis during incidents - performance monitoring and optimization the api supports complex queries with grouping, filtering, and various aggregation functions similar to log analytics.
Why this helps
Latency and error patterns can be hidden in trace data that takes time to explore manually.
- Focus span analysis on a named service and question.
- Summarize patterns across a selected time range.
- Bring operational findings into the relevant control discussion.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect 21risk and Datadog once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name the span investigation.
- 3Describe in one instruction the service, time range, query focus, and control context.
- 4Choose a webhook trigger and where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real service question and review the analysis.
Questions about this workflow
Can this prove a control is failing?
No. Span patterns can provide operational evidence, but state the control criteria and interpret results in context.
What details should I supply?
Provide the service, time range, and pattern to investigate, such as latency or errors.
