Overview

Automated, customizable notification rules ensure the right stakeholders are alerted based on specific criteria. This removes the burden from the individual declaring the incident and ensures prompt involvement of the necessary parties, expediting the resolution process. For example, you can set a notification rule to automatically notify team stakeholders whenever a SEV-1 or SEV-2 incident for service:web-store AND application:purchasing is declared and when that incident moves through different states of progression.

Use notification rules to:

• Ensure key stakeholders are always made aware of high priority incidents
• Notify external systems whenever a new incident is declared or updated
• Notify specific responders when a particular service or team experiences an incident

Configure notification rules

1. Navigate to Incident Settings Notification Rules.
2. Click New Rule.
3. Under For incidents matching…, select the incident property field key:value pairs you want notifications to be sent for. By default, these filters are empty, and a notification rule triggers for any incident.
4. Notify: Select your notification recipients. Notifications can be sent to any of Datadog’s existing notification integrations. If you want to notify a recipient’s mobile device, select the option for their name that includes (Mobile Push Notification). The recipient must have enabled notifications in the Datadog mobile app for this option to appear.
5. With Template: Select the desired message template you want the notification rule to use.
6. Renotify on updates to: Select the incident properties that trigger notifications. A new notification is sent whenever one or more of the selected properties change. Note: properties already in your filters (see step 2) are automatically included in these rules.
7. Click Save
