Event Management correlates related events and automatically consolidates them into a single work item. Bring in all the context of related logs, related metrics, and alerting monitors to triage and troubleshoot issues in one place.

From the Correlation page, find the pattern you want to analyze and click Triage Work Items at the end of the same row. You can also click Work Management at the top of the page to view all work items with correlated events in Work Management. Datadog pulls in related metrics and logs so you can troubleshoot issues with all the related data in one place.

Event Management Work Item

For more information on Work Management operations, see the Work Management documentation.

Investigation

1. From the work item Overview, click Investigation
2. Under the Correlations section, you can see a list of alerts and events
3. Click into any of the alerts or events to view all related metrics and logs in context of the alert
4. (Optional) Select any alerts or events you want to remove that are not related to the work item
5. Under the Related Metrics section, compare all related metrics or group by tags

Create a notification or ticket

With correlated events, you can configure one notification for a group. So, instead of having 20 notifications and 20 potential issues to investigate, you have one single work item and one notification. Combine all your alerts in the Work Management Projects page. There are a few ways to group notifications in Work Management:

Ticketing

On the Project Settings page, configure the Integrations you want your projects to send notifications to. Datadog supports the following integrations with manual and automatic ticket creation, and bi-directional syncing:

• ServiceNow
• Jira

For setup instructions, see the Work Management Settings documentation.

Notifications

In work management, views group work items based on a configured query. You can set up a notification when a work item matching this query is created. Datadog supports Pagerduty, Email, Webhook, Microsoft Teams, and Slack. To learn how to create a view, see the Work Management Views documentation.

Note: You need to reconfigure underlying monitors to remove multiple notifications. Grouping monitor events does not mute individual notifications.
