Module: lambda-elasticsearch-cleanup

Terraform module to provision a scheduled Lambda function which will delete old Elasticsearch indexes using SigV4Auth authentication. The lambda function can optionally send output to an SNS topic if the topic ARN is given. This module was largely inspired by aws-lambda-es-cleanup

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.

module "elasticsearch_cleanup" {
source = "https://github.com/cloudposse/terraform-aws-lambda-elasticsearch-cleanup.git?ref=master"
es_endpoint = module.elasticsearch.domain_endpoint
es_domain_arn = module.elasticsearch.domain_arn
es_security_group_id = module.elasticsearch.security_group_id
vpc_id = module.vpc.vpc_id
namespace = "eg"
stage = "dev"
schedule = "cron(0 3 * * ? *)"
}

Indexes are expected to be in the format name-date where date is in the format specified by var.index_format. By default, all indexes except for the ones added by Kibana will be deleted based on the date part of the full index name. The actual creation date of the index is not used.

Index matching is done with unanchored regular expresssion, so "bar" matches index "foobarbaz".

  • If the full index name, including the date part, matches skip_index_re, then the index will be skipped (never deleted). Kibana indexes are skipped by the default skip_index_re of ^\.kibana* so if you specify a value for skip_index_re you must include the Kibana exception in your regex if you want it excepted. (Since Kibana indexes do not have a date part, this module should not delete them, but will complain about them having malformed dates if they are not excluded.)
  • If the index name without the trailing -date part matches index_re, then it will be cleaned up according to the date part.

Keep in mind that, fundamentally, this module expects indexes to be in the format of name-date so it will not work properly if the regexes end up selecting an index that does not end with -date. To avoid edge cases, it is wise not to include dashes in your index name or date format.

Migration

Prior to version 0.10.0, this moudle had inputs index, which was a comma-separated list of index names or the special name "all" to indicate all but Kibana indexes, and index_regex, which was a regular expression for parsing index name and date parts. There was no mechanism for specifying a list of indexes to exclude. Starting with version 0.10.0 this module drops those inputs and instead takes index_re and skip_index_re, both of which are regular expressions. (You probably want to anchor your regexes to the beginning of the index name by starting with ^).

If you previously hadNow use
index = "all"Default values for index_re and skip_index_re
index = "a,xb,c0"index_re = "^(a\|xb\|c0)" and skip_index_re = "^$"
index_regex = "(ipat)-(dpat)"index_re = "ipat" and be sure index_format is correct for your date format

Inputs

NameDescriptionTypeDefaultRequired
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
artifact_git_refGit ref of the lambda artifact to use. Use latest version if null.string""no
artifact_urlURL template for the remote artifactstring"https://artifacts.cloudposse.com/$${module_name}/$${git_ref}/$${filename}"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.

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).

Default value: title.

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.

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.

This is the only ID element not also included as a tag.

want to use a custom value and also exclude the kibana indexes.
