Investigate Datadog logs from a webhook
Start evidence gathering as soon as an external incident signal arrives.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
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
The first minutes of an investigation are lost translating external alerts into log searches.
- Starts investigation immediately
- Standardizes search context
- Reduces manual copying during incidents
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Datadog in Notis once.
- 2Create a webhook automation.
- 3Tell Notis to search Datadog logs using the service, terms, and millisecond time range supplied by the webhook, then summarize findings.
- 4Choose the Notis webhook trigger and a report channel.
- 5Send one real incident payload to test it.
Questions about this workflow
Are Datadog time values special?
Yes. The logs API expects 13 digit millisecond timestamps, which Notis can prepare from the supplied window.
Can the workflow sort logs?
No. Datadog's logs API does not support the sort parameter.
