Coordinate planned maintenance with Datadog downtime
Keep planned maintenance visible in AnyDB and suppress the matching Datadog alerts during the supplied window.
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 trigger noisy alerts when the suppression window is not set up in Datadog.
- Reduce false alarms during planned maintenance.
- Use the maintenance window specified by the requester.
- Keep maintenance coordination tied to its source record.
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 maintenance requests.
- 3Tell Notis to create Datadog downtime only from a request with a service scope and start and end times.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real, complete maintenance request.

What does the request need to include?
Include the affected service or scope and the start and end times. The automation should not guess missing timing details.
