Coordinate maintenance windows with Datadog
Connect the maintenance plan to alert suppression so expected service changes do not generate avoidable interruptions.
Trigger
Issue Created Trigger
Triggered when a new issue is created.
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 maintenance plan in Linear and an active Datadog alert window can drift apart when updates must be repeated manually.
- Keep planned work and alert suppression aligned.
- Reduce avoidable notifications during a known maintenance window.
- Create an operational record tied to the plan.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear and Datadog to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create a named maintenance coordination automation in Automations or by asking Notis.
- 3Write one plain-language instruction to create Datadog downtime when a new Linear issue includes a confirmed maintenance window and affected service.
- 4Select Issue Created, choose a channel for run reports, and test with a real scheduled maintenance issue.
Questions about this workflow
Will downtime be created without a confirmed window?
