Set up a Datadog monitor for document workflow health
Create a monitor around a measurable signal for your document workflows, with the threshold and alerting details you choose.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create monitor
Creates a monitor to track data and trigger alerts.
Why this helps
A recurring workflow issue can go unnoticed when nobody has translated the operational signal into a monitor.
- Create a monitor from a measurable signal supplied for the workflow.
- Make the threshold and notification intent explicit in plain language.
- Reduce repeated manual checks for document workflow health.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect ActiveMerge and Datadog once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3Describe the monitor to create, including the metric or log signal, threshold, and alerting details available to Datadog.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and select a report channel.
- 5Test with one real request containing the monitor details and review the created monitor in Datadog.
Questions about this workflow
Does this monitor automatically know ActiveMerge metrics?
No. The request or instruction must provide a Datadog-supported signal and the threshold you want monitored. The listed ActiveMerge description does not specify a built-in Datadog metric.
Can the workflow pick a threshold for me?
Provide the threshold that matches your operational needs. The workflow should not invent a baseline or alert level.
Will this create a monitor each time the webhook fires?
The action creates a monitor. Configure the automation to run only when you intend to create one, and test with a real example first.
