Notis

Spot document service log trends without reading every event

Use Datadog log aggregation to summarize counts and grouped trends for document services on a recurring schedule.

Trigger

Recurring schedule

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

Action

Aggregate logs

Aggregates logs into counts, statistics, groupings or trends without downloading raw events.

Why this helps

Reading raw logs one by one makes it hard to notice recurring document service patterns.

  • Summarize log counts and breakdowns without retrieving raw events.
  • Surface recurring patterns on a regular cadence.
  • Spend less time scanning individual log messages.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Affinda and Datadog once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
  • 3Tell Notis to aggregate Datadog logs for the specified document services and summarize the available counts or groupings.
  • 4Choose a recurring schedule and select where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real example and check that the aggregation answers your question.

Questions about this workflow

Does aggregation return individual log messages?

No. This action aggregates logs. Use the log search action when individual messages are required.

Will it know which logs relate to Affinda?

Only if the relevant logs and identifying query or filters are available in Datadog.
