This will add cluster checks to a specific environment.

Cluster Checks

Cluster Checks are configurations that allow us to setup external URLs to be monitored. They can be configured through the datadog agent or annotations on kubernetes services.

Cluster Checks are similar to synthetics checks, they are not as indepth, but significantly cheaper. Use Cluster Checks when you need a simple health check beyond the kubernetes pod health check.

Public addresses that test endpoints must use the agent configuration, whereas service addresses internal to the cluster can be tested by annotations.

Adding Cluster Checks

Cluster Checks can be enabled or disabled via the cluster_checks_enabled variable. We recommend this be set to true.

New Cluster Checks can be added to defaults to be applied in every account. Alternatively they can be placed in an individual stage folder which will be applied to individual stages. This is controlled by the datadog_cluster_check_config_parameters variable, which determines the paths of yaml files to look for cluster checks per stage.

Once they are added, and properly configured, the new checks show up in the network monitor creation under ssl and Http

Please note: the yaml file name doesn't matter, but the root key inside which is something.yaml does matter. this is following datadogs docs for <integration name>.yaml.

Sample Yaml

Warning

The key of a filename must match datadog docs, which is <INTEGRATION_NAME>.yaml > Datadog Cluster Checks

Cluster Checks can be used for external URL testing (loadbalancer endpoints), whereas annotations must be used for kubernetes services.

http_check.yaml:
  cluster_check: true
  init_config:
  instances:
    - name: "[${stage}] Echo Server"
      url: "https://echo.${stage}.uw2.acme.com"
    - name: "[${stage}] Portal"
      url: "https://portal.${stage}.uw2.acme.com"
    - name: "[${stage}] ArgoCD"
      url: "https://argocd.${stage}.uw2.acme.com"

Monitoring Cluster Checks

Using Cloudposse's datadog-monitor component. The following yaml snippet will monitor all HTTP Cluster Checks, this can be added to each stage (usually via a defaults folder).

https-checks:
  name: "(Network Check) ${stage} - HTTPS Check"
  type: service check
  query: |
    "http.can_connect".over("stage:${stage}").by("instance").last(2).count_by_status()
  message: |

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
atomic If set, installation process purges chart on fail. The wait flag will be set automatically if atomic is used bool true 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
chart Chart name to be installed. The chart name can be local path, a URL to a chart, or the name of the chart if repository is specified. It is also possible to use the <repository>/<chart> format here if you are running Terraform on a system that the repository has been added to with helm repo add but this is not recommended string n/a yes
chart_version Specify the exact chart version to install. If this is not specified, the latest version is installed string null no
cleanup_on_fail Allow deletion of new resources created in this upgrade when upgrade fails bool true no
cluster_checks_enabled Enable Cluster Checks for the Datadog Agent bool false 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.

Defaults to - (hyphen). Set to "" to use no delimiter at all.
string null no
description Release description attribute (visible in the history) 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

kube_exec_auth_role_arn_enabled If true, pass kube_exec_auth_role_arn as the role ARN to aws eks get-token bool true no
kubeconfig_context Context to choose from the Kubernetes config file.
If supplied, kubeconfig_context_format will be ignored.
