Bring a recurring metric snapshot to your report channel
Make key service metrics easier to check with a scheduled Datadog query and a concise summary of returned time series.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Query metrics
Queries datadog metrics and returns time series data. useful for retrieving historical metric data, creating custom dashboards, or building reports.
Why this helps
Important metric checks can become an extra context switch that gets postponed when the day is busy.
- Bring chosen metric results into a regular report.
- Reduce repeated dashboard navigation for routine checks.
- Make the query scope explicit in the automation instruction.
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 Datadog metric queries and time window, and ask Notis to summarize the returned series without inventing a baseline.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule as the trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real run and confirm the query returns the intended metrics.
Questions about this workflow
Will the report say whether a metric is unusually high?
Only if you supply a meaningful threshold or baseline. Otherwise, Notis can summarize the returned values without asserting whether they are unusual.
Can I query multiple metrics?
You can include multiple metric queries in the instruction, provided they are supported and specific enough to run.
