Define a reliability objective for your validation flow
Turn an agreed reliability target into a Datadog SLO your team can track.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Create SLO
Creates a service level objective to track service reliability targets.
Why this helps
Reliability targets often stay informal, so teams lack a shared way to track whether a validation service meets its goal.
- Translate a team supplied reliability target into an SLO setup request.
- Keep the objective tied to a real scheduled validation check.
- Make reliability expectations easier to discuss and monitor.
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 reliability objective.
- 3Tell Notis to run the specified Abstract check and create a Datadog SLO with the target, measurement definition, and time window you provide.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real example and review the created SLO details.
Questions about this workflow
Can Notis choose the target percentage?
Provide your team's reliability objective. The automation should not guess a target.
Will the Abstract check alone provide SLO history?
No. An SLO needs an appropriate measurement source and history in Datadog. Supply the metric or monitor details that represent the service.
Can this revise the SLO later?
This workflow creates an SLO. Updating an existing SLO would require a different supported action, and no SLO update action is listed here.
