Turn monitoring requests into Datadog dashboards
Keep dashboard needs in AnyDB, then create the Datadog view from the requirements the requester provides.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create Dashboard
Creates a dashboard for viewing infrastructure, application, or business metrics.
Why this helps
Dashboard requests can stall when requirements are scattered across notes and must be manually recreated.
- Convert a dashboard request into a Datadog dashboard.
- Preserve the requested service and visualization context.
- Reduce setup friction for recurring monitoring needs.
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 requests.
- 3Tell Notis to create a Datadog dashboard using only the service and visualization requirements in the incoming record.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real dashboard request.
Questions about this workflow
Will Notis know which metrics and widgets to add?
It can use the requirements supplied in the request and instruction. Include the metrics or visualization needs rather than expecting Notis to infer them.
Can I review what was created?
Yes. Use the Datadog dashboard list or get-dashboard action to inspect dashboards after creation.
