Datadog Triggers

Overview

Triggers are a way to make changes to your Statsig project from a 3rd party source. You can create a trigger with a specific action like “Disable a feature gate”. This will generate a URL that will perform that action when hit.

Triggers can be used with Datadog to toggle a gate on or off depending on the performance of a metric. An example use case would be to create a trigger that disables a gate and hook it up to a Datadog monitor so that if metric regression is detected, you can automatically turn off the feature.

Trigger Types

Currently, the only supported type of triggers are gate triggers.

Creating a Trigger

1. On Statsig console, navigate to the integrations tab.
2. Find and open Datadog -> Triggers.
3. Specify the target gate and action, then click Create
   

Connecting to Datadog

1. Copy the trigger URL generated from the previous step.
2. In Datadog, create a new Webhook using that URL. (You do not need to make any changes to the payload)
   
3. Now within your Datadog monitor settings, you can add this webhook as a notification target.
