Keep monitoring usage and validation activity in view
Bring usage data and a current validation check into one recurring Notis report.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Get usage summary
Retrieves usage totals, including API calls, hosts, and containers.
Why this helps
Usage reviews and application health checks can drift into separate routines, making the overall picture harder to see.
- Review Datadog usage data alongside current validation activity.
- Get a recurring report without opening multiple tools.
- Compare only periods or targets you supply.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Abstract and Datadog once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it for the usage review.
- 3Tell Notis to run the selected Abstract validation check, retrieve the Datadog usage summary, and report the returned figures for the period you specify.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real example and check that the reported period is the one you intended.
Questions about this workflow
Can the workflow calculate a cost forecast?
The listed action retrieves usage summary information. Any forecast requires pricing assumptions and a method you provide.
What period does the usage summary cover?
Specify the period where supported by the action or use the period represented in its returned data. The workflow should report the period it actually receives.
Does this change Datadog usage settings?
No. It retrieves usage information and reports it.
