Notis

Find the right dashboard from your review request

Let Notis find relevant Datadog dashboards using the service or question already described in AnyDB.

Trigger

Webhook received

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.

Action

List dashboards

Lists dashboards with basic details.

Why this helps

Finding the right dashboard can take more time than the review itself when names and ownership are hard to recall.

  • List dashboards for a review request.
  • Use service or topic context to summarize likely matches.
  • Reduce repeated dashboard searches.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect AnyDB and Datadog once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it for dashboard lookup.
  • 3Tell Notis to list Datadog dashboards and identify likely matches using the service or question in the incoming request.
  • 4Choose the webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with a request for a service whose dashboards are known.

Questions about this workflow

Does this retrieve dashboard widgets?

No. The list dashboards action returns basic information. Use Get Dashboard when you need detailed information about a specific dashboard.

Can Notis choose one dashboard automatically?

It can identify likely matches from returned information, but include the service or review question and verify the selected dashboard.
