Reflect a revised maintenance window in Datadog
When a Jira maintenance issue changes to document a revised window, create Datadog downtime using the updated schedule.
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
Create downtime
Creates a new downtime in datadog to suppress alerts during maintenance windows or planned outages. useful for preventing false alarms during deployments or maintenance.
Why this helps
A changed maintenance window can leave alert suppression out of sync with the actual plan.
- Bring updated maintenance scheduling into Datadog.
- Reduce alert suppression gaps caused by stale plans.
- Keep the revised window tied to its source issue.

- 4Pick Jira Updated Issue as the trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real issue update that contains the revised schedule.
