Review recent Datadog events in one report
Bring important changes and occurrences into a compact timeline summary you can check without opening each event.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
List events
Lists events from datadog within a specified time range. events track important occurrences like deployments, outages, and configuration changes.
Why this helps
Relevant deployment and outage context can get buried when reviewing a busy event stream takes too much time.
- Bring returned events into a concise report.
- Review changes in a specified time window.
- Make timeline context easier to share in team discussions.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Datadog once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, or tell Notis in plain language from any channel.
- 3In one instruction, specify the event time range and ask Notis to summarize returned events by occurrence and category, noting missing context.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule as the trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real run and verify the time range and summary.
Questions about this workflow
Can this find events for a specific service?
Include a service scope in your instruction if the event action supports it and the returned event data includes the relevant service details.
Can it explain why an outage happened?
The event list provides occurrences and available details, but cause analysis requires supporting evidence such as logs, traces, or metrics.
