This is a project with some Demos to configure datadog using terraform to accomplish Observability As Code.

• terraform: brew install terraform
• Datadog Integration Credential: datadog_app_key and datadog_api_key, retrieve from Datadog: Intergration/APIs

terraform init
terraform apply -var "datadog_api_key=xxxxxxxxxxxx" -var "datadog_app_key=xxxxxxxxxxxx"

Probably you already have some monitors of datadog configured by GUI before you plan to manage monitor as code. it may be a boring job to write the monitoring code one by one, fortunately there is a tool dd2tf to generate terraform code from existing monitors/dashboards directly. It will be really helpful when we are not familiar with datadog's grammar.

As Readme of dd2tf goes:

DATADOG_API_KEY=xxx DATADOG_APP_KEY=xxx ./dd2tf monitors

• Terraform Official Doc Page: Datadog Provider
• Export DataDog configuration to Terraform
