DATA OPS
File Linear Bugs from dbt Failures Seen in Datadog
Watches Datadog for dbt run-failure events and automatically opens a Linear issue in the owning team's project.
How it runs
The automated pipeline, trigger to output.
- TriggerDatadog dbt-failure event firesDatadog
- LogicMap model owner tag to Linear team + dedup searchLinear
- ActionCreate or comment on Linear issueLinear
- OutputReply in Slack thread with ticket linkSlack
What it does
Converts recurring dbt failures surfaced in Datadog into actionable, deduplicated Linear tickets. It maps the failed model to its owning team via a tag-to-project lookup and ensures only one open issue exists per model.
When to use it
Use it when dbt run logs already ship to Datadog and you want failures tracked as work, not lost in alert noise. Best for teams that triage data issues through Linear and want a clean, dedup'd backlog.
How it works
- 1A Datadog monitor on dbt failure events triggers the flow with the failed model and tags.
- 2The flow maps the model's owner tag to a Linear team and project.
- 3A logic step searches Linear for an existing open issue referencing the same model.
- 4If none exists, it creates a new issue with the error log, run URL, and owner assignment; if one exists, it adds a comment incrementing the failure count.
- 5A Slack thread reply links the ticket back to the on-call.
