Start a Datadog log search from an incident signal
Turn an incoming incident signal into a focused log search, then send the findings to the channel your team uses.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Search logs
Searches datadog logs with advanced filtering capabilities. important notes: - sort parameter is not supported by the datadog logs api and will cause errors - time parameters must be in milliseconds (13-digit unix timestamps) - limit parameter is passed as string to the api - log content is nested under 'content' field in api response useful for troubleshooting, monitoring application behavior, and analyzing log patterns.
Why this helps
Responders lose time switching to Datadog and rebuilding the same log search after another system flags an issue.
- Starts log investigation from an incoming HTTP request.
- Uses a defined query and time range to reduce setup during incidents.
- Delivers returned log findings in a chosen report channel.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect HubSpot and Datadog once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it for incident log search.
- 3Tell Notis what Datadog logs to search, how to use request context, and what summary to report.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test by sending one real example request and review the resulting search.
Questions about this workflow
What starts this workflow?
An HTTP request to the Notis webhook starts it. The caller should provide any incident details or query context needed by the instruction.
What time format does the Datadog log search need?
The action requires time parameters in milliseconds as 13-digit Unix timestamps. Do not use a sort parameter because the Datadog logs API does not support it.
