Datadog Alert Runbook Enrichment to Discord

When a Datadog monitor fires, it finds the matching remediation runbook in Confluence and posts a Discord alert that pairs the live alert context with grounded.

What it does

Catches Datadog monitor alerts and immediately attaches the relevant remediation playbook. Instead of an alert that just says "latency high," responders get the alert plus the specific runbook steps for that service, summarized and grounded in your Confluence ops docs, with links to the full procedure.

When to use it

Use it when alerts land in Discord without context and responders waste minutes hunting for the right runbook. Ideal for teams that maintain per-service remediation docs and want the alert and the fix to arrive together, especially during off-hours when the on-call may be unfamiliar with the service.

How it works

  1. 1A Datadog webhook fires when a monitor crosses threshold, carrying the monitor name, tags, and service.
  2. 2A logic step extracts the service and severity to build a retrieval query.
  3. 3Confluence is searched for the remediation runbook tied to that service.
  4. 4An OpenAI step summarizes the matched runbook into ordered recovery steps grounded only in the retrieved text.
  5. 5A formatted Discord message delivers the alert context plus cited steps to the responders channel.
