Query metrics when a new absence balance appears

Add historical operational data to the moment a new balance enters the picture.

Trigger

New Absence Balance

Triggers when a new absence balance record becomes available for a worker. This trigger monitors a specific worker's absence balances and detects when new balance records appear (e.g., a new plan/bucket becomes available). Uses snapshot-based diffing to compare balance record IDs between polls.

Action

Query metrics

Queries datadog metrics and returns time series data. useful for retrieving historical metric data, creating custom dashboards, or building reports.

Why this helps

A new balance record has little meaning without trend context from the systems around it.

  • Adds trend context to new records
  • Supports better capacity decisions
  • Avoids manual metric lookups
