Plan alert downtime around a compliance change

Record the maintenance window and affected monitor scope, then let Notis create the matching Datadog downtime.

Trigger

Webhook received

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.

Action

Create downtime

Creates a new downtime in datadog to suppress alerts during maintenance windows or planned outages. useful for preventing false alarms during deployments or maintenance.

Why this helps

Teams can plan a change in one place and forget to account for expected alert noise in monitoring.

  • Represent an agreed maintenance window in Datadog.
  • Use explicit dates and affected scope.
  • Keep planned work and alert suppression connected.

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 planned downtime.
  • 3Describe in one instruction the change, time window, and monitor scope for the downtime.
  • 4Choose a webhook trigger and where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real planned window and review the downtime details.

Questions about this workflow

Can Notis infer the downtime dates from a checklist?

Only if those dates are present and available. Provide the exact approved window if they are not.

Does downtime delete the monitor?

No. Datadog downtime suppresses alerts for the configured window; it does not delete the monitor.
