Create Datadog Incident

Create Datadog Incident

Learn how to automatically create Datadog incidents when dbt™ runs fail in Bolt. This integration helps data teams track and respond to pipeline failures efficiently by connecting Bolt's pipeline monitoring with Datadog's incident management system.

What You'll Get

When a run fails, Bolt automatically creates a Datadog incident containing:

  • Incident title with schedule name and workspace

  • Incident details including:

    • Link to Paradime run logs

    • Run ID with direct link

    • Execution timestamps

    • Commands executed

    • Branch information

Key Benefits for Data Teams

  • Centralize incident management - Track all pipeline failures alongside infrastructure incidents

  • Accelerate debugging - Jump directly from Datadog alerts to Paradime run logs

  • Improve MTTR - Leverage Datadog's incident workflow for faster resolution

  • Enable cross-team visibility - Share pipeline health with platform and DevOps teams
