Suppress relevant alerts during planned partner maintenance
Put a partner maintenance window on the monitoring calendar to reduce alerts that are expected during the work.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create downtime
Creates downtime to silence alerts during maintenance or planned outages.
Why this helps
Planned maintenance can create alert noise if the monitoring team is not told about the window in advance.
- Record a planned maintenance window in Datadog.
- Reduce false alarms during a supplied maintenance period.
- Keep the maintenance notice and monitoring action connected.
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 to create Datadog downtime from the supplied maintenance notice, using only the provided time window and scope.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real notice and verify the affected monitors and start and end times.
Questions about this workflow
Can this workflow decide which alerts should be suppressed?
The maintenance notice must provide enough scope to identify the intended downtime. Confirm the affected monitors and window in the test run.
What if the notice has no end time?
Provide an end time or a clear duration in the notice. The workflow should not guess an unprovided maintenance window.
