Turn a monitoring request into a Datadog monitor
Capture the service, signal, and alerting intent in a request, then let Notis create the monitor in Datadog.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create monitor
Creates a new datadog monitor to track metrics, logs, or other data sources with configurable alerting thresholds and notifications.
Why this helps
Monitoring requests often stay in chat while the follow-up work of creating the monitor gets postponed.
- Move monitoring requests toward implementation.
- Keep the intended signal and threshold context together.
- Reduce follow-up work after a request arrives.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect 2chat and Datadog once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation and give it a clear name.
- 3Tell Notis to create a Datadog monitor from incoming requests, using only the signal, threshold, and notification details provided.
- 4Pick the Notis webhook trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real request that states the monitoring intent and threshold.
Questions about this workflow
Does this invent thresholds if the request omits them?
No. Supply the threshold and other requirements in the request; incomplete details may not be enough to create a useful monitor.
Can this update an existing monitor?
This workflow creates a monitor. Updating an existing monitor requires a separate automation using the Datadog Update monitor action.
