Streamline your infrastructure monitoring with Zapier

Automatically track and escalate infrastructure health across cloud instances, alerts, and incident channels. Get instant alerts when metrics spike, instances change state, or thresholds are breached—so you can investigate faster, reduce downtime, and keep systems stable without manual monitoring.

Automate infrastructure monitoring across your DevOps tools, including:

Datadog
Amazon EC2
Slack

Automation templates

  • Apps: Webhooks by Zapier, Code by Zapier, Slack
    Swap with your favorite apps.

    Notify engineering of active compute pool status in channel

    Your compute pool usage webhooks arrive as raw payloads, leaving engineers without readable summaries. Receive concise pool summaries in team chat so engineers can triage within minutes.

  • Apps: Webhooks by Zapier, Formatter by Zapier, Datadog
    Swap with your favorite apps.

    Post backup health metrics from webhooks to monitoring

    Your backup webhook events arrive without consistent metrics, leaving SREs blind to failures and delaying triage. It posts normalized metrics so your on-call team sees failures within minutes.

  • Apps: Webhooks by Zapier, Formatter by Zapier, Datadog
    Swap with your favorite apps.

    Post service rate limit metric to your monitoring dashboard

    Your API rate-limit responses aren't tracked centrally, leaving platform engineers blind to consumption spikes. Send metrics to monitoring so they can triage before outages within minutes.

  • Apps: Webhooks by Zapier, Filter by Zapier, Formatter by Zapier, Datadog
    Swap with your favorite apps.

    Send test completion metrics to monitoring for engineers

    Your end-to-end test completions go untracked, leaving engineers blind to CI regressions. Posting run events to monitoring gives engineers immediate failure signals and faster triage within minutes.

  • Apps: Schedule by Zapier, Webhooks by Zapier, Code by Zapier
    Swap with your favorite apps.

    Send third-party health metrics to monitoring platform now

    Your third-party survey service health can go untracked, leaving SREs blind to outages. You get normalized health metrics in your observability platform for timely triage within an hour.

  • Apps: Zapier Tables, Amazon EC2
    Swap with your favorite apps.

    Write cloud instance state back to record after check

    Your cloud bot records often show stale instance states after checks, leaving on-call engineers unable to triage accurately. Keep records current so engineers can triage the same day.

  • Automate your work, your way

    Build custom automations across your tools in minutes. Describe what you need, connect your apps, and create workflows without the manual effort.

What is infrastructure monitoring automation?

Infrastructure monitoring automation uses software to detect and escalate system health issues without manual checking. Teams can route alerts, open investigations, and notify responders when infrastructure signals change.

What is infrastructure monitoring automation?

COMMON INFRASTRUCTURE MONITORING CHALLENGES

Missing outages until users report them

Automated alerts notify your team the moment key infrastructure metrics cross critical thresholds, so incidents surface before downtime spreads.

Slow response to critical alert spikes

Trigger incident workflows when urgent alerts fire, routing context to responders and speeding triage from the first signal.

Manual alert routing across monitoring tools

Automatically route alerts from Datadog into Slack and incident channels, eliminating repetitive handoffs across your monitoring workflow.

No unified view of infrastructure activity

Track alerts and instance changes across Datadog and Amazon EC2 in one unified view to spot patterns before they become larger incidents.

Transform your infrastructure monitoring with Zapier

Zapier helps engineering teams turn infrastructure monitoring into faster, more reliable automation. Route critical alerts, track infrastructure changes, and coordinate incident response—and that's just the start.

Alert routing

Critical alerts reach the right team faster

Zapier automates alert routing for infrastructure monitoring the moment a new incident signal appears. Datadog alerts can flow into Slack with the right severity, service, and owner context attached. Your engineering team spends less time triaging inbox noise and more time resolving issues.

Critical alert delivery

Send high-priority Datadog alerts straight to Slack channels the moment they fire, so engineering sees urgent issues without watching dashboards.

Severity-based routing

Route alerts by status or severity to the right Slack channel, keeping low-risk noise away from responders handling production incidents.

Service ownership alerts

Direct infrastructure notifications to the channel tied to each service owner, so the right engineering team gets context immediately.

Escalation message rules

Post escalation messages when alerts remain unresolved past a set window, helping teams act before issues turn into outages.

Threshold breach notices

Notify responders when infrastructure metrics cross defined thresholds, with alert details included for faster observability and triage.

How it works

Infrastructure monitoring automation connects your tools, detects meaningful infrastructure health changes, and triggers workflows automatically. Monitor alerts, instance states, and threshold breaches in real time—without manually checking dashboards.

  1. Step 1

    Connect your tools

    Integrate platforms like Datadog, Amazon EC2, Slack, monitoring tools, and incident channels to centralize infrastructure data.

  2. Step 2

    Define triggers

    Set conditions for alert spikes, instance changes, metric breaches, or outage signals.

  3. Step 3

    Automate & measure

    Send incident alerts, log change events, notify responders, and continuously track infrastructure health improvements automatically.
