Investigate performance reports with span analytics
Start span analysis when a performance issue is filed, using its service and time details to focus the investigation.
Trigger
New Issue
Fires when a new issue is created in the Jira project you configure. Only issues created in that project produce an event.
Action
Search Spans Analytics
Search and analyze span data with aggregations in datadog. this action uses the datadog spans analytics api to perform advanced queries and aggregations on trace span data. it's essential for: - analyzing error rates and latency patterns - understanding service dependencies and bottlenecks - root cause analysis during incidents - performance monitoring and optimization the api supports complex queries with grouping, filtering, and various aggregation functions similar to log analytics.
Why this helps
Performance tickets describe symptoms, but responders still need to start a separate investigation in APM.
- Reduce the steps between reporting and investigating latency.
- Focus span analysis with issue context.
- Make returned findings available with the run report.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Jira and Datadog once in the Notis portal.

- 3Ask Notis to search and analyze spans for new performance issues using the service and time details they provide.
- 4Pick Jira New Issue as the trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one issue that includes service and time context.
