Search Datadog logs from a WhatsApp incident message
Get from a WhatsApp report to the relevant logs before the trail goes cold.
Trigger
New WhatsApp Message Received
Polling trigger that monitors for new messages received in TimelinesAI WhatsApp chats.
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
Incident details arrive in chat, while the evidence needed to investigate is buried in logs.
- Reduce context switching during incidents
- Search with the service and timeframe mentioned in chat
- Receive a concise investigation report
