Component: datadog-integration

This component is responsible for provisioning Datadog AWS integrations. It depends on the datadog-configuration component to get the Datadog API keys.

See Datadog's documentation about provisioning keys for more information.

Usage

Stack Level: Global

Here's an example snippet for how to use this component. It's suggested to apply this component to all accounts which you want to track AWS metrics with DataDog.

Inputs

NameDescriptionTypeDefaultRequired
account_specific_namespace_rulesAn object, (in the form {"namespace1":true/false, "namespace2":true/false} ), that enables or disables metric collection for specific AWS namespaces for this AWS account onlymap(string){}no
additional_tag_mapAdditional 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
attributesID 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
contextSingle 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.

delimiterDelimiter to be used between ID elements.
Defaults to - (hyphen). Set to "" to use no delimiter at all.
stringnullno
descriptor_formatsDescribe 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).

label_key_caseControls 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.
stringnullno
label_orderThe 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)nullno
label_value_caseControls 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.
stringnullno
labels_as_tagsSet 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.

metrics_collection_enabledWhen enabled, a metric-by-metric crawl of the CloudWatch API pulls data and sends it
to Datadog. New metrics are pulled every ten minutes, on average.
boolnullno
nameID 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.
stringnullno
namespaceID element. Usually an abbreviation of your organization name, e.g. 'eg' or 'cp', to help ensure generated IDs are globally uniquestringnullno
regex_replace_charsTerraform 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.

CHANGELOG

PR #814

Possible Breaking Change

The module "datadog_integration" and module "store_write" had been changed in an earlier PR from a module without a count to a module with a count of zero or one. This PR changes it back to a module without a count. If you were using the module with a count of zero or one, applying this new version will cause it be destroyed and recreated. This should only cause a very brief outage in your Datadog monitoring.

New Integration Options

This PR adds the following new integration options:

  • cspm_resource_collection_enabled - Enable Datadog Cloud Security Posture Management scanning of your AWS account. See announcement for details.
  • metrics_collection_enabled - When enabled, a metric-by-metric crawl of the CloudWatch API pulls data and sends it to Datadog. New metrics are pulled every ten minutes, on average.
  • resource_collection_enabled - Some Datadog products leverage information about how your AWS resources ( such as S3 Buckets, RDS snapshots, and CloudFront distributions) are configured. When resource_collection_enabled is true, Datadog collects this information by making read-only API calls into your AWS account.
