Map Datadog service dependencies from a risk report
See upstream and downstream impact before a reported service issue spreads.
Trigger
New Form Response
Triggers when a respondent completes and submits the form.
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
Architecture and incident forms describe a service concern, but dependency context is fetched later or not at all.
- Add dependency context to reports
- Identify likely blast radius
- Support faster triage decisions
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Typeform and Datadog in Notis once.
- 2Create an automation for service risk reports.
- 3Tell Notis to retrieve the dependency mapping for the service named in each response and summarize likely impact.
- 4Pick New Form Response and select a report channel.
- 5Test with one real service report.
