Trigger
New Device Added
Triggers when a new device is added.
Action
Get Service Dependencies
Get service dependency mapping from datadog apm. this action retrieves the dependency graph for a specific service, showing both upstream services (that call this service) and downstream services (that this service calls). it's essential for: - understanding the blast radius of service failures - identifying critical dependencies during incidents - analyzing service communication patterns - planning architectural changes - monitoring service health in context the dependency information includes call rates, error rates, and latency metrics to help assess the health of service relationships.
Why this helps
Device changes can raise uncertainty about which services or workflows are involved.
- Clarify upstream and downstream services
- Improve impact assessment
- Reduce time spent tracing dependencies manually
