Terraform module to provision Datadog resources.

The module consists of the following submodules:

Notes on Datadog child organizations:

  • Users can be added to the parent-organization and/or multiple child-organizations and switch between them from the user account settings menu
  • The parent-organization can view the usage of individual child-organizations, allowing them to track trends in usage
  • The Multi-organization account feature is not enabled by default. Contact Datadog support to have it enabled
  • Free and Trial organizations cannot enable SAML
  • We can only create Datadog child organizations with terraform, but cannot destroy them. When trying to destroy, the following error is thrown:
      Warning: Cannot delete organization.
    
      Remove organization by contacting support (https://docs.datadoghq.com/help).
    

This project is part of our comprehensive "SweetOps" approach towards DevOps.

Terraform Open Source Modules

It's 100% Open Source and licensed under the APACHE2.

We literally have hundreds of terraform modules that are Open Source and well-maintained. Check them out!

Introduction

Datadog resources (monitors, roles, etc.) are defined as catalog of YAML configuration files.

We maintain a comprehensive catalog of Datadog resources and welcome contributions via pull request!

The examples/complete in this module uses the catalog to provision the monitors on Datadog.

The examples/synthetics shows how to provision synthetics on Datadog for synthetic monitoring.

The examples/rbac shows how to use custom RBAC to provision Datadog roles with permissions and assign roles to monitors.

The examples/slo shows how to provision Service Level Objectives on Datadog for SLO monitoring.

The examples/child_organization shows how to provision Datadog child organizations.

The examples/organization_settings shows how to provision Datadog organization settings.

Usage

IMPORTANT: We do not pin modules to versions in our examples because of the difficulty of keeping the versions in the documentation in sync with the latest released versions. We highly recommend that in your code you pin the version to the exact version you are using so that your infrastructure remains stable, and update versions in a systematic way so that they do not catch you by surprise.

Also, because of a bug in the Terraform registry (hashicorp/terraform#21417), the registry shows many of our inputs as required when in fact they are optional. The table below correctly indicates which inputs are required.

Provision Datadog monitors from the catalog of YAML definitions:

module "monitor_configs" {
  source  = "cloudposse/config/yaml"
  version = "0.8.1"

  map_config_local_base_path = path.module
  map_config_paths           = var.monitor_paths

  context = module.this.context
}

module "datadog_monitors" {
  source = "cloudposse/platform/datadog//modules/monitors"
  # version = "x.x.x"

  datadog_monitors     = module.monitor_configs.map_configs
  alert_tags           = var.alert_tags
  alert_tags_separator = var.alert_tags_separator

  context = module.this.context
}

Provision Datadog synthetics:

locals {
  synthetics_files = flatten([for p in var.synthetic_paths : fileset(path.module, p)])
  synthetics_list  = [for f in local.synthetics_files : yamldecode(file(f))]
  synthetics_map   = merge(local.synthetics_list...)
}

module "datadog_synthetics" {
  source = "cloudposse/platform/datadog//modules/synthetics"
  # version = "x.x.x"

  datadog_synthetics   = local.synthetics_map
  alert_tags           = var.alert_tags
  alert_tags_separator = var.alert_tags_separator

  context = module.this.context
}

Provision Datadog monitors, Datadog roles with defined permissions, and assign roles to monitors:

module "monitor_configs" {
  source  = "cloudposse/config/yaml"
  version = "0.8.1"

  map_config_local_base_path = path.module
  map_config_paths           = var.monitor_paths

  context = module.this.context
}

module "role_configs" {
  source  = "cloudposse/config/yaml"
  version = "0.8.1"

  map_config_local_base_path = path.module
  map_config_paths           = var.role_paths

  context = module.this.context
}

locals {
  monitors_write_role_name    = module.datadog_roles.datadog_roles["monitors-write"].name
  monitors_downtime_role_name = module.datadog_roles.datadog_roles["monitors-downtime"].name

  monitors_roles_map = {
    aurora-replica-lag              = [local.monitors_write_role_name, local.monitors_downtime_role_name]
    ec2-failed-status-check         = [local.monitors_write_role_name, local.monitors_downtime_role_name]
    redshift-health-status          = [local.monitors_downtime_role_name]
    k8s-deployment-replica-pod-down = [local.monitors_write_role_name]
  }
}

module "datadog_roles" {
  source = "cloudposse/platform/datadog//modules/roles"
  # version = "x.x.x"

  datadog_roles = module.role_configs.map_configs

  context = module.this.context
}

module "datadog_monitors" {
  source = "cloudposse/platform/datadog//modules/monitors"
  # version = "x.x.x"

  datadog_monitors     = module.monitor_configs.map_configs
  alert_tags           = var.alert_tags
  alert_tags_separator = var.alert_tags_separator
  restricted_roles_map = local.monitors_roles_map

  context = module.this.context
}

Provision a Datadog child organization:

module "datadog_child_organization" {
  source = "cloudposse/platform/datadog//modules/child_organization"
  # version = "x.x.x"

  organization_name                = "test"
  saml_enabled                     = false  # Note that Free and Trial organizations cannot enable SAML
  saml_autocreate_users_domains    = []
  saml_autocreate_users_enabled    = false
  saml_idp_initiated_login_enabled = true
  saml_strict_mode_enabled         = false
  private_widget_share             = false
  saml_autocreate_access_role      = "ro"

  context = module.this.context
}

Examples

Review the examples folder to see how to use the Datadog modules.

Also checkout our terraform-aws-components repository for more examples of how to use a mixture of modules to enhance monitors, slos, and synthetics with inheritence and templating!

Inputs

Name Description Type Default Required
additional_tag_map Additional key-value pairs to add to each map in tags_as_list_of_maps. Not added to tags or id.
This is for some rare cases where resources want additional configuration of tags
and therefore take a list of maps with tag key, value, and additional configuration.
map(string) {} no
alert_tags List of alert tags to add to all alert messages, e.g. ["@opsgenie"] or ["@devops", "@opsgenie"] list(string) null no
alert_tags_separator Separator for the alert tags. All strings from the alert_tags variable will be joined into one string using the separator and then added to the alert message string "\n" no
attributes ID element. Additional attributes (e.g. workers or cluster) to add to id,
in the order they appear in the list. New attributes are appended to the
end of the list. The elements of the list are joined by the delimiter
and treated as a single ID element.
list(string) [] no
context Single object for setting entire context at once.
See description of individual variables for details.
Leave string and numeric variables as null to use default value.
Individual variable settings (non-null) override settings in context object,
except for attributes, tags, and additional_tag_map, which are merged.

"unset"
],
"name": null,
"namespace": null,
"regex_replace_chars": null,
"stage": null,

}
no
datadog_monitors Map of Datadog monitor configurations. See catalog for examples
map(object({
name = string
type = string
message = string
escalation_message = string
query = string
tags = list(string)
notify_no_data = bool
new_host_delay = number

}))
n/a yes
delimiter Delimiter to be used between ID elements.
Defaults to - (hyphen). Set to "" to use no delimiter at all.
string null no
descriptor_formats Describe additional descriptors to be output in the descriptors output map.
Map of maps. Keys are names of descriptors. Values are maps of the form
{<br> format = string<br> labels = list(string)<br>}
(Type is any so the map values can later be enhanced to provide additional options.)
format is a Terraform format string to be passed to the format() function.
labels is a list of labels, in order, to pass to format() function.
Label values will be normalized before being passed to format() so they will be
identical to how they appear in id.
Default is {} (descriptors output will be empty).
any {} no
enabled Set to false to prevent the module from creating any resources bool null no
environment ID element. Usually used for region e.g. 'uw2', 'us-west-2', OR role 'prod', 'staging', 'dev', 'UAT' string null no
id_length_limit Limit id to this many characters (minimum 6).
Set to 0 for unlimited length.
Set to null for keep the existing setting, which defaults to 0.
Does not affect id_full.
number null no
label_key_case Controls the letter case of the tags keys (label names) for tags generated by this module.
Does not affect keys of tags passed in via the tags input.
Possible values: lower, title, upper.
Default value: title.
string null no
label_order The order in which the labels (ID elements) appear in the id.
Defaults to ["namespace", "environment", "stage", "name", "attributes"].
You can omit any of the 6 labels ("tenant" is the 6th), but at least one must be present.
list(string) null no
label_value_case Controls the letter case of ID elements (labels) as included in id,
set as tag values, and output by this module individually.
Does not affect values of tags passed in via the tags input.
Possible values: lower, title, upper and none (no transformation).
Set this to title and set delimiter to "" to yield Pascal Case IDs.
Default value: lower.
string null no
labels_as_tags Set of labels (ID elements) to include as tags in the tags output.
Default is to include all labels.
Tags with empty values will not be included in the tags output.
Set to [] to suppress all generated tags.
Notes:
The value of the name tag, if included, will be the id, not the name.
Unlike other null-label inputs, the initial setting of labels_as_tags cannot be
changed in later chained modules. Attempts to change it will be silently ignored.
set(string)
[
"default"
]
no
name ID element. Usually the component or solution name, e.g. 'app' or 'jenkins'.
This is the only ID element not also included as a tag.
The "name" tag is set to the full id string. There is no tag with the value of the name input.
string null no
namespace ID element. Usually an abbreviation of your organization name, e.g. 'eg' or 'cp', to help ensure generated IDs are globally unique string null no
regex_replace_chars Terraform regular expression (regex) string.
Characters matching the regex will be removed from the ID elements.
If not set, "/[^a-zA-Z0-9-]/" is used to remove all characters other than hyphens, letters and digits.
string null no
restricted_roles_map Map of monitors names to sets of Datadog roles to restrict access to each monitor map(set(string)) {} no
stage ID element. Usually used to indicate role, e.g. 'prod', 'staging', 'source', 'build', 'test', 'deploy', 'release' string null no
tags Additional tags (e.g. {'BusinessUnit': 'XYZ'}).
Neither the tag keys nor the tag values will be modified by this module.
map(string) {} no
tenant ID element _(Rarely used, not included by default)_. A customer identifier, indicating who this instance of a resource is for string null no
