Make Datadog usage review a weekly habit
Get a predictable usage summary so infrastructure cost review does not depend on remembering another dashboard check.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Get usage summary
Retrieves usage summary information from datadog including api calls, hosts, containers, and other billable usage metrics. useful for cost monitoring and usage analysis.
Why this helps
Usage and cost signals can go unnoticed when review is irregular and disconnected from current engineering priorities.
- Make usage review predictable and low effort.
- Keep operational cost signals visible in a chosen channel.
- Support clearer prioritization of monitoring and infrastructure work.

- 1Connect Linear and Datadog to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create a named recurring automation in Automations or ask Notis conversationally.
- 3Write one plain-language instruction to retrieve the Datadog usage summary weekly and highlight changes worth comparing with current Linear priorities.
- 4Choose a weekly Notis cron schedule and the channel for run reports, then test with a real usage summary.
