Keep an eye on Datadog usage for creative production
A scheduled usage summary helps you notice changes in monitored hosts, containers, and API activity while planning creative launches.
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 changes can quietly accumulate while infrastructure work is split across multiple projects and priorities.
- Bring billable usage metrics into a regular review.
- Notice shifts in hosts, containers, and API calls sooner.
- Make infrastructure usage easier to discuss during launch planning.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Abyssale and Datadog once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3Tell Notis to retrieve the Datadog usage summary and highlight changes relevant to your creative production infrastructure.
- 4Choose a recurring schedule and select where run reports should go.
- 5Run it once and review the usage summary with a real reporting period.
Questions about this workflow
Does the usage summary identify costs caused by Abyssale?
Not necessarily. The action provides Datadog usage information, and attribution depends on the data Datadog returns and how your organization tracks usage.
Can I choose what usage to focus on?
Yes. Describe the usage categories or operational context you want Notis to highlight in the automation instruction.
