Example Usage

# Create a new Datadog monitor
resource "datadog_monitor" "foo" {
  name = "Name for monitor foo"
  type = "metric alert"
  message = "Monitor triggered. Notify: @hipchat-channel"
  escalation_message = "Escalation message @pagerduty"

  query = "avg(last_1h):avg:aws.ec2.cpu{environment:foo,host:foo} by {host} > 2"

  thresholds {
	ok = 0
	warning = 1
	critical = 2
  }

  notify_no_data = false
  renotify_interval = 60

  notify_audit = false
  timeout_h = 60
  include_tags = true
  silenced {
    "*" = 0
  }
  tags {
    "foo" = "bar"
    "bar" = "baz"
  }

Argument Reference

The following arguments are supported:

• type - (Required) The type of the monitor, chosen from:

  • metric alert
  • service check
  • event alert
  • query alert

• name - (Required) Name of Datadog monitor

• query - (Required) The monitor query to notify on with syntax varying depending on what type of monitor you are creating. See API Reference for options.

• message - (Required) A message to include with notifications for this monitor. Email notifications can be sent to specific users by using the same '@username' notation as events.

• escalation_message - (Optional) A message to include with a re-notification. Supports the '@username' notification allowed elsewhere.

• thresholds - (Required) Thresholds by threshold type:

  • ok
  • warning
  • critical

• notify_no_data (Optional) A boolean indicating whether this monitor will notify when data stops reporting. Defaults to true.

• no_data_timeframe (Optional) The number of minutes before a monitor will notify when data stops reporting. Must be at least 2x the monitor timeframe for metric alerts or 2 minutes for service checks. Default: 2x timeframe for metric alerts, 2 minutes for service checks.

• renotify_interval (Optional) The number of minutes after the last notification before a monitor will re-notify on the current status. It will only re-notify if it's not resolved.

• notify_audit (Optional) A boolean indicating whether tagged users will be notified on changes to this monitor. Defaults to false.

• timeout_h (Optional) The number of hours of the monitor not reporting data before it will automatically resolve from a triggered state. Defaults to false.

• include_tags (Optional) A boolean indicating whether notifications from this monitor will automatically insert its triggering tags into the title. Defaults to true.

• silenced (Optional) Each scope will be muted until the given POSIX timestamp or forever if the value is 0.

• require_full_window (Optional) A boolean indicating whether this monitor needs a full window of data before it's evaluated. We highly recommend you set this to False for sparse metrics, otherwise some evaluations will be skipped. Default: True for "on average", "at all times" and "in total" aggregation. False otherwise.

• locked (Optional) A boolean indicating whether changes to to this monitor should be restricted to the creator or admins. Defaults to False.

• tags (Optional) A list of tags to associate with your monitor. This can help you categorize and filter monitors in the manage monitors page of the UI. Note: it's not currently possible to filter by these tags when querying via the API

  To mute the alert completely:

    silenced {
      '*' =  0
    }
  

  To mute role:db for a short time:

    silenced {
      'role:db' = 1412798116
    }
