Start log investigation when a production bug is filed
When a production bug arrives, have Notis search Datadog logs using the service and time details recorded in Jira.
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 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
Investigators lose time switching from a bug report to Datadog and rebuilding the search context.
- Start log investigation from the issue that raised the concern.
- Use available issue context to shape the search.
- Send findings to the configured run report channel.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Jira and Datadog once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis from any channel.
- 3Ask Notis to search Datadog logs for new production bugs using the service and time details present in the issue.
- 4Pick Jira New Issue as the trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one issue that includes useful service and time context.
Questions about this workflow
What if the issue does not name a service or time range?
Notis can report what context is missing. Provide a search window or other needed context in the issue or instruction.
Does this change or delete logs?
No. The selected Datadog action searches logs.
