Terraform Provider for ThousandEyes

The Terraform provider for ThousandEyes allows you to manage resources in ThousandEyes.

Requirements

• Terraform 0.12.x
• Go 1.17 (to build the provider plugin)

Usage

The provider is on the Terraform registry. To use it, add the following code and run terraform init:

terraform {
  required_providers {
    thousandeyes = {
      source = "thousandeyes/thousandeyes"
      version = ">= 1.3.1"
    }
  }
}

Setting up provider

provider "thousandeyes" {
  token = "xxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxx"
}

The provider requires a token. The token can be set on the token variable, as shown in the example, or it may instead be passed via the TE_TOKEN environment variable.

The provider also supports the following optional settings:

• account_group_id may be set to distinguish between affected account groups, if your ThousandEyes account supports more than one. This may instead be set by the environment variable TE_AID.
• timeout may be set to specify the number of seconds to wait for responses from the ThousandEyes endpoints. This may instead be set by the environment variable TE_TIMEOUT. If this is unset or set to 0, then the thousandeyes-sdk-go library will use its default settings.

Examples

Example of an HTTP test:

data "thousandeyes_agent" "arg_cordoba" {
  agent_name = "Cordoba, Argentina"
}

resource "thousandeyes_http_server" "www_thousandeyes_http_test" {
  test_name      = "Example HTTP test set from Terraform provider"
  interval       = 120
  alerts_enabled = false

  url = "https://www.thousandeyes.com"

  agents {
    agent_id = data.thousandeyes_agent.arg_cordoba.agent_id
  }
}
