Turn dashboard requests into Datadog dashboards
Keep dashboard work moving by creating a Datadog dashboard from the scope written in the Jira issue.
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
Create Dashboard
Create a dashboard in datadog. dashboards provide customizable visualizations for monitoring your infrastructure, applications, and business metrics in a unified view.
Why this helps
Dashboard requests can stall while someone has to translate a written ask into a new Datadog artifact.
- Move explicit dashboard requests into Datadog.
- Keep the requested scope connected to its source issue.
- Avoid guessing which services or views the requester needs.
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 create a dashboard for new issues that request one and provide its services and desired views.
- 4Pick Jira New Issue as the trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one request issue containing dashboard requirements.
Questions about this workflow
Can Notis decide which widgets to add?
Specify the desired services and views in the issue or instruction. If those requirements are missing, ask Notis to report the gap.
Will every new issue create a dashboard?
No. The instruction should only request dashboard creation for issues that explicitly ask for one.
