Notis

Notice hourly monitoring usage changes in context

Review hourly Datadog usage when it helps your team understand the operational footprint of affiliate activity.

Trigger

Recurring schedule

Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.

Action

Get hourly usage

Retrieves hourly usage records by product family for a UTC time range.

Why this helps

Usage increases can accumulate between billing reviews and be harder to connect with operational changes later.

  • Review product family usage at an hourly level.
  • Compare usage timing with supplied operational context.
  • Make usage reviews easier to repeat and act on.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Adtraction and Datadog once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a clear name.
  • 3Tell Notis the UTC hour range and product families to review, plus how to consider supplied Adtraction context.
  • 4Choose a recurring schedule and select where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real run and verify the time range and units in the usage records.

Questions about this workflow

Are hourly records returned in local time?

The action describes a UTC hour range. Specify the correct UTC range and interpret it accordingly.

Can this identify which affiliate caused higher usage?

Not without data linking the usage records to that affiliate. Supply a supported correlation source or keep the report to timing and observed usage.
