Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Search logs
Searches datadog logs with advanced filtering capabilities. important notes: - sort parameter is not supported by the datadog logs api and will cause errors - time parameters must be in milliseconds (13-digit unix timestamps) - limit parameter is passed as string to the api - log content is nested under 'content' field in api response useful for troubleshooting, monitoring application behavior, and analyzing log patterns.
Why this helps
A message about an outage can arrive while you are in the middle of other work, leaving you to open Datadog and reconstruct the right search by hand.
- Start log investigation from a single request.
- Reduce time spent switching between chat and Datadog.
- Keep the search findings in the automation run report.

- 3Tell Notis to use each incoming issue report to search Datadog logs for relevant evidence and summarize the findings.
- 4Pick the Notis webhook trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real example containing enough details to guide a log search.
