Notis

Review service changes with Datadog dependency context

See the services around a documented change before it becomes a bigger investigation.

Trigger

Recurring schedule

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

Action

List APM Services

Lists application performance monitoring services.

Why this helps

A service change in a document can be difficult to assess without checking upstream and downstream dependencies.

  • Review listed APM services and dependencies alongside parsed changes
  • Make potential service impact easier to inspect
  • Reduce manual context gathering

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Airparser and Datadog once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, or tell Notis in plain language.
  • 3Ask Notis to list APM services and summarize available dependency context relevant to parsed service change records.
  • 4Choose a recurring schedule and where run reports should go.
  • 5Run once and confirm that the service details match your intended review.

Questions about this workflow

Does this calculate the actual blast radius of a change?

It can present dependency data for review, but it cannot infer unavailable service mappings or prove the impact of a change.

What data should the parsed record include?

Include a clear service name or identifier and the nature of the change so the review can look for relevant context.
