Overview

Analysis monitors offer full access to Notebook analysis features, allowing you to alert on complex data patterns that standard monitors may miss. With Analysis monitors, you can:

• Query multiple data sources
• Chain data transformations
• Run complex SQL queries
• Create sophisticated analysis workflows

Monitor creation

You can create an Analysis monitor in two ways:

From the Monitors page

To create an Analysis monitor in Datadog, use the main navigation: Monitors > New Monitor > Analysis.

From a Notebook

To create an Analysis monitor directly from a Notebook:

1. Open a Notebook with an Analysis cell containing your desired query.
2. In the Analysis cell, click the dropdown arrow next to Save to Dashboard.
3. Select Create monitor.

This allows you to convert your exploratory analysis into an alerting monitor.

Define the query

Analysis monitors use the same query interface as Notebook Analysis cells.

1. Select your dataset: Select from available Notebook Analysis cells.
2. Filter your dataset: Filter your results by column.
3. Preview results: View the output of your query before setting alert conditions.

Set alert conditions

Configure monitors to trigger when the query value crosses a threshold, and customize advanced alert options such as recovery thresholds and evaluation delays. For more information, see Configure Monitors.

Notifications

For detailed instructions on alert messaging, see Notifications.
