See recent changes beside a current validation check
Bring recent Datadog events and a current Abstract check into one compact review.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
List events
Lists events from a specified time range.
Why this helps
When a validation issue appears, recent deployments and configuration changes may be scattered across a separate events view.
- Review recent events alongside a current validation result.
- Surface deployment and configuration context in one report.
- Reduce time spent gathering change history during routine checks.
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 change review.
- 3Tell Notis to run the specified Abstract check, list Datadog events for the time range you provide, and summarize relevant deployments or changes.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real example and verify the event range in the report.
Questions about this workflow
Can the workflow identify which deployment caused a failure?
It can summarize events near the check if timestamps and relevant details are returned. Correlation does not prove causation.
What time range should I use?
Choose a range that fits your review, such as the period since the prior run. The workflow cannot assume an event history that Datadog does not return.
Does this create any Datadog events?
No. It lists events and reports relevant results.
