Hello there ! I would like to create some monitors from cloudposse/terraform-datadog-platformand looking into the module YAML files the monitor queries seems to be using {*} as a query filtering .

My question is , is there any way i can uses tfvars i.e environment to filter monitoring queries ?

This is what i tried so far but seems to fail

 query: |
    avg(last_15m):avg:aws.rds.cpuutilization{env:({environment })} by {dbinstanceidentifier} > 90

Any suggestions on how to make it work would be great

Thanks

in the module, we have just a generic catalog which can be deployed on one Datadog account and will monitor all resources

in prod, we copy the catalog per account and add the filters to each query e.g. {env:prod}

(we don’t have an example yet on how to parameterize the queries in terraform, but it could be done with templatefile

Thanks @Andriy Knysh (Cloud Posse) - let me play with templatefile approach

templatefile will only work with file inputs. I think if you want to use inline input vars and have them replaced with the context, for example, then you’d need to use the old template data source provider

Hi all, this Friday Anton Babenko will be giving Spacelift a test run live on Youtube. Just wanted to share a link in case anyone is interested in joining. https://www.linkedin.com/events/spacelift-terraformtoolsreviews6861033602663108608/

Spacelift - Terraform tools reviews | LinkedIn

I will try to accomplish something real with Spacelift because it says on the homepage ( https://spacelift.io/ ) - “The most flexible management platform for Infrastructure as Code”. I am particularly excited about using OPA policies, drift detection, and spacectl. Will it blend? There will be Jakub Martin (Software Engineer at Spacelift) answering my and others’ questions. Join in!

There is a famous ancient saying that goes something like this:

Give a man a Container and you keep him busy for a day; Teach a man Kubernetes and you keep him busy for a lifetime
