Turn a service health commitment into a Datadog SLO
Capture a reliability target surfaced through Ably as a Datadog SLO, with the objective and measurement details supplied up front.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create SLO
Create a service level objective (slo) in datadog. slos help you define and track reliability targets for your services, enabling data-driven decisions about service quality and reliability investments.
Why this helps
Reliability commitments can remain in operational conversations without becoming a measurable target the team can track.
- Turns a defined reliability target into a Datadog artifact
- Keeps the originating service signal in context
- Reduces manual setup after a decision
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 which Ably signal indicates an approved reliability target and provide the SLO objective and measurement details.
- 4Choose a webhook trigger and a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one real signal and review the SLO created in Datadog.
Questions about this workflow
Can Notis derive the reliability target from a vague message?
Provide the target and measurement details explicitly. The workflow should not guess a threshold or baseline that is not present.
What does the webhook do?
It starts the Notis run. The workflow then uses its connected Ably and Datadog access to perform the instructed work.
