Keep backup readiness from becoming background noise
A short recurring review can tell you whether recovery resources are still where you expect them.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
List All Snapshots
Tool to list all snapshots available on your digitalocean account. use when you need to fetch and optionally filter snapshots by resource type (droplet or volume) and handle pagination for inventory or backup workflows.
Why this helps
Backup assumptions are easy to forget until an incident makes them critical.
- Makes recovery resources visible
- Reduces last-minute backup uncertainty
- Creates a repeatable operational checkpoint
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Globalping and DigitalOcean to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation named Snapshot readiness review.
- 3Use this instruction: Run the approved Globalping checks, list DigitalOcean snapshots for our protected resources, and report missing, stale, or regionally concerning backups without changing anything.
- 4Choose a weekly notis_cron trigger and select the reporting channel.
- 5Test with one protected resource.
