Quiet planned maintenance alerts with a Datadog downtime
Send a maintenance request with the affected monitors and exact time window so Notis can create the Datadog downtime.
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 distracting alerts if the monitoring window is not coordinated.
- Coordinate planned work with alert suppression.
- Include a clear maintenance window in the request.
- Reduce unnecessary alert noise during approved work.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Agiled and Datadog once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3Tell Notis to create a downtime using the supplied maintenance window and monitor scope.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real maintenance request.
Questions about this workflow
Can it choose which monitors to suppress?
Provide the intended scope in the request. Notis must not guess affected monitors or a maintenance window.
Will an Agiled task update start this?
Not automatically through an Agiled event. The webhook request is the trigger in this setup.
