Ask your phone agent to check monitors, alerts and incidents in Datadog, live on the call.

Connect Datadog with your own credentials from its settings, and your AgentCalls agent can work with your monitoring during a call. It can look up alert status, open events, schedule downtime before a planned deployment, and page the right person when something needs attention. Your team stays in control of what the agent can change, and every action is logged in Datadog.

What your agent can do with Datadog

  • Check the status of monitors and active alerts while on the phone
  • Create events to record deployments, outages or configuration changes
  • Schedule downtime to silence alerts during planned maintenance
  • Create monitors, SLOs and synthetic API tests from a short spoken brief
  • Send monitor notifications to external services through webhooks

Datadog exposes 71 actions. You choose which ones the agent may use and whether each runs during or after the call.

Example calls

Client asks if the site is down

  1. Caller

    Hi, I'm trying to place an order on your site and it keeps timing out. Is something wrong?

  2. Agent

    Thanks for flagging this, Maria. Let me check our monitoring right now.

  3. Agent

    We have an active alert on checkout response time that started about twelve minutes ago. Our team is already looking at it, and I've logged it as an event so the update is recorded.

  4. Caller

    Okay, can you tell me when it will be back?

  5. Agent

    I don't have an exact time yet. I can take your number and have someone from the team call you back within the hour.

Scheduling a planned deployment window

  1. Caller

    We're pushing a database migration tonight from 11 to 12:30 pm Pacific. Can you silence the alerts for that window?

  2. Agent

    Sure, James. I'll set a downtime for the database alerts from 11:00 pm to 12:30 am Pacific tonight.

  3. Agent

    Done. The downtime is scheduled, and the on-call channel will get a notice when it starts and ends.

  4. Caller

    Perfect. Can you also make sure the payment service alerts stay on?

  5. Agent

    Yes, the payment service alerts are not part of that downtime, so they will still notify the team.

Follow-up on a new service request

  1. Caller

    Hello, this is Priya from the data team. We launched a new reporting API this morning and want uptime checks on it.

  2. Agent

    Good morning, Priya. I can set up a synthetic API test for that. What is the endpoint URL?

  3. Caller

    It's https colon slash slash reports dot example dot com slash health.

  4. Agent

    Got it. I've created a synthetic API test that checks that endpoint every five minutes from several locations. You will get an alert if it fails twice in a row.

Questions, answered.

Does the agent work with Datadog during the call or only afterwards?

Both. During a call, your agent can look up monitor status, create events and schedule downtime. It can also run tasks after the call, such as recording a summary or creating a monitor you asked for.

What do I need to connect Datadog?

You need an active Datadog account. Sign in to the AgentCalls dashboard, open Integrations, choose Datadog and enter the credentials from your Datadog settings. Datadog keeps its own access controls, so you can limit what the agent is allowed to do.
