Restore Datadog alerts when an investigation is resolved
Make the return to normal alerting easier to follow through by connecting a clear Ably resolution signal to a Datadog unmute action.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Unmute Monitor
Unmute a monitor in datadog. re-enables alerts from a previously muted monitor, returning it to normal monitoring and alerting behavior. use this after maintenance windows or issue resolution to resume monitoring.
Why this helps
After an incident, a muted monitor can stay quiet because someone has to remember a separate cleanup step.
- Supports a timely return to normal monitoring
- Reduces a post-incident cleanup task
- Requires an explicit resolution condition
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Ably and Datadog once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Tell Notis what resolution signal to recognize and which Datadog monitor to unmute when the required conditions are met.
- 4Choose a webhook trigger and a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one real resolution example and confirm the monitor is unmuted.
Questions about this workflow
Can it infer that an incident is resolved from general conversation?
Use a clear resolution signal and specify the monitor. If the signal or monitor identity is unclear, the workflow should not act.
Does unmuting guarantee the monitor is healthy?
No. It re-enables alerting on the specified monitor; it does not assert that the underlying issue is resolved.
