Find Datadog logs from Linear incident comments
Turn an incident comment with a timestamp, error, or request clue into a focused Datadog log search and a concise run report.
Trigger
Comment Received Trigger
Triggered when a comment is received.
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
During an incident, manually carrying clues from comments into log searches adds context switching when attention is already limited.
- Move from incident clue to log search with fewer manual steps.
- Keep investigation momentum when the team shares evidence in comments.
- Receive a concise report in the channel you already use.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear and Datadog to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation called incident comment log search, either in the portal or by asking Notis.
- 3Write one plain-language instruction to search Datadog logs using actionable clues in new incident comments and summarize the results.
- 4Choose the Linear Comment Received trigger, set a reporting channel, and test with a real comment containing a search clue.
