Datadog-style monitors → Elastic alerts (workshop)
When to use
Use when adopting metrics alerting on Elastic: translate assets/datadog/monitor-*.json into Kibana
alerting JSON skeletons, then tune for live indices and rules APIs.
Workflow
python3 tools/datadog_to_elastic_alert.py assets/datadog/<monitor>.json -o build/elastic-alerts/<name>-elastic.json
Then refine params (index patterns, query DSL, thresholds) using Kibana or the alerting APIs described in upstream
Elastic Agent Skills.
Notes
- Datadog exports vary; validate fields (
type, query, options.thresholds).
- Anomaly monitors map conceptually to Elastic ML jobs + anomaly rules when ML is available.
