Keep Datadog usage visible as document workflows grow
Review available Datadog usage measures on a schedule, so monitoring costs and resource counts do not become another forgotten check.
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
As document workflows expand, the cost of the monitoring around them can be easy to overlook among other operational work.
- See available usage measures such as API calls, hosts, and containers.
- Build a predictable review habit without manual navigation.
- Spot changes in reported usage while avoiding unsupported cost assumptions.
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 which available Datadog usage measures to summarize and what period to report.
- 4Choose a recurring schedule and select where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real usage summary and verify the measures and period shown.
Questions about this workflow
Will this calculate the cost of ActiveMerge?
No. The action retrieves Datadog usage information. It does not provide ActiveMerge costs, and cost conclusions require appropriate pricing data.
Which usage measures are available?
The action description includes API calls, hosts, containers, and other billable usage metrics. The exact returned measures depend on Datadog data.
Can Notis flag an unusual increase?
It can report changes when a comparison period or baseline is available or supplied. Without one, it should report the returned usage without labeling it unusual.
