Why this helps

Teams lose time rebuilding a health view when they need to investigate document workflow issues.

  • Create a focused health view for operational checks.
  • Base the dashboard on available metrics and logs.
  • Make investigations start with a useful overview.

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 create a dashboard for document workflow health using identified metrics and logs.
  • 4Choose a recurring schedule and select where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real example and review the dashboard contents.

Questions about this workflow

Does this automatically pull Affinda data into Datadog?

No. The dashboard can only use data available in Datadog or otherwise provided to the automation.

Can the schedule refresh an existing dashboard?

This action creates a dashboard. Do not assume it updates an existing one.
