Module: datadog-integration

Terraform module to configure Datadog AWS integration.

Usage

For a complete example, see examples/complete.

For automated tests of the complete example using bats and Terratest (which tests and deploys the example on AWS), see test.

Note: At the moment this module supports a limited set of IAM policies to support Datadog integrations. More can be added as needed.

Structure

This module follows Datadog's documentation by supporting a core integration which is the minimum set of permissions needed for any Datadog integration, plus an additional integration per service which contains the additional permissions Datadog has documented are required for that service.

To make things easier, this module also implements an all integration which includes all the permissions Datadog lists under "All Permissions" as the maximal set of permissions required, so you can just set integrations = ["all"] and be done.

Installation

Include this module in your existing terraform code:

module "datadog_integration" {
source = "cloudposse/datadog-integration/aws"
# Cloud Posse recommends pinning every module to a specific version
# version = "x.x.x"

namespace = "eg"
stage = "test"
name = "datadog"
integrations = ["all"]
}

The DataDog integration will be linked with your configured datadog account via the provider's api_key.

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)nullno
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.

datadog_aws_account_idThe AWS account ID Datadog's integration servers use for all integrationsstring"464622532012"no
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).

enabledSet to false to prevent the module from creating any resourcesboolnullno
environmentID element. Usually used for region e.g. 'uw2', 'us-west-2', OR role 'prod', 'staging', 'dev', 'UAT'stringnullno
excluded_regionsAn array of AWS regions to exclude from metrics collectionlist(string)nullno
filter_tagsAn array of EC2 tags (in the form key:value) that defines a filter that Datadog use when collecting metrics from EC2. Wildcards, such as ? (for single characters) and * (for multiple characters) can also be usedlist(string)nullno
host_tagsAn array of tags (in the form key:value) to add to all hosts and metrics reporting through this integrationlist(string)nullno
id_length_limitLimit 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.
numbernullno
integrationsList of AWS permission names to apply for different integrations (e.g. 'all', 'core')list(string)n/ayes
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.

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.
