Monitor the API endpoints your campaigns depend on
When your team flags an API as campaign-critical, turn the request into a Datadog monitor through a Notis webhook.
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 critical endpoint can be identified during campaign planning but never make it into the monitoring setup.
- Create a Datadog monitor from an explicit endpoint request.
- Capture alert criteria supplied in the webhook request.
- Reduce the chance that a campaign dependency is left without monitoring.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect ActiveTrail and Datadog once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation and instruct Notis to create a Datadog monitor using the endpoint and alert criteria supplied in each request.
- 3Pick the Notis webhook trigger and have your existing process send a request when monitoring is needed.
- 4Choose where run reports should go, then test with one real endpoint request.
Questions about this workflow
Does ActiveTrail automatically send endpoint requests?
No ActiveTrail trigger is listed. Your existing process must send a Notis webhook request with the endpoint and criteria.
Can Notis invent alert thresholds if they are missing?
The threshold and other required monitor details must be provided or otherwise available. Supply them in the request or instruction before using monitor creation.
