Overview

Event monitors allow you to alert on events matching a search query.

Monitor creation

To create a event monitor in Datadog, use the main navigation: Monitors –> New Monitor –> Event.

Select events to count

As you fill in the parameters below, the list of events above the search fields is filtered.

Match events containing <TEXT>
with status error, warning, info, or success
and priority all, normal, or low
from <SOURCE>
over <TAGS>
exclude <TAGS>

Choose your alert grouping:

Simple alert aggregates all reporting sources. You receive one alert when the aggregated value meets the set conditions.
Multi alert applies the alert to each source according to your group parameters. You receive an alert for each group that meets the set conditions.

Set alert conditions

The count was above, above or equal to, below, or below or equal to
<THRESHOLD_NUMBER>
during the last 5 minutes, 15 minutes, 1 hour, etc.

Note: Some providers introduce a significant delay between when an event is posted, and when the event is initiated. In this case, Datadog back-dates the event to the time of occurrence, which could place an incoming event outside the current monitor evaluation window. Widening your evaluation window can help account for the time difference. If you need help adjusting your monitor settings appropriately, reach out to Datadog Support.

Notifications
