Keep heartbeat settings in step with maintenance work

A maintenance ticket can be the reminder to adjust heartbeat monitoring. Notis can update a specific Better Stack heartbeat when its Jira issue changes and you provide the required details.

Trigger

Updated Issue

Fires when an existing issue is changed in the Jira project you configure — for example its status, assignee, or any other field on the issue is updated. Only issues in that project produce an event. It does not fire on comment activity: adding, editing, or deleting a comment on an issue will not produce an event from this trigger.

Action

Update Heartbeat

Tool to update an existing heartbeat configuration. use after retrieving a heartbeat and choosing which fields to change.

Why this helps

Maintenance updates can leave heartbeat settings out of date when the ticket and monitoring configuration are managed separately.

  • Connect maintenance changes to heartbeat configuration follow-up.
  • Reduce missed updates during service changes.
  • Use an explicit heartbeat id and desired settings to avoid unsupported guesses.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Jira and Better Stack once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create a new automation in Automations, or tell Notis from any channel to create it.
  • 3In one instruction, ask Notis to update the heartbeat identified by its id when the Jira issue reflects a relevant maintenance change, and state the exact heartbeat fields to change.
  • 4Pick the Jira Updated Issue trigger for the project you configure, and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real maintenance issue update and confirm the intended heartbeat was changed.

Questions about this workflow

Which heartbeat should this update?

The action needs a specific heartbeat. Include its id in the issue or your instruction, or provide a reliable lookup rule.

Can it update any heartbeat setting?

The action updates an existing heartbeat configuration. Specify the exact fields and values that should change; those details must be supplied by you or the issue.
