# Terraform CloudWatch Dashboard Modules
This repository contains a series of Terraform modules that can be used to populate a dashboard built with AWS CloudWatch.
The modules of this repository are built around the concept of _columns_. This allows for a quicker and easier placement of the widgets over the canvas.
## Getting started
First of all, we need to define the columns that we will be using in our dashboard.
```terraform
locals {
columns = [
{size = 6},
{size = 9},
{size = 5},
{size = 4}
]
}
# The sum should not exceed 24
```
Then, we can use this repository to create a simple widget
```terraform
module "my_first_widget" {
source = "https://github.com/insight-architectures/terraform-cloudwatch-dashboard//modules/widget"
title = "Number of objects"
columns = local.columns
column = 1
height = 3
type = "metric"
region = "eu-north-1"
view = "singleValue"
metrics = [
[ "AWS/S3", "NumberOfObjects", "StorageType", "AllStorageTypes", "BucketName", "my_sample_bucket" ],
]
properties = {
sparkline = false
}
}
```
Finally, we attach our widget to a `aws_cloudwatch_dashboard`.
```terraform
resource "aws_cloudwatch_dashboard" "sample" {
dashboard_name = "sample"
dashboard_body = jsonencode({
widgets = [
module.my_first_widget.widget
]
})
}
```
