# Terraform module for Datadog Aws Services
This module uses datadog's feature to monitor AWS Service status page.
This [blog post](https://www.datadoghq.com/blog/aws-outage-datadog-alerts-you/) explains what we've set up
Note that Datadog scrapes the status page from AWS and this can lag a bit.
This module is part of a larger suite of modules that provide alerts in Datadog.
Other modules can be found on the [Terraform Registry](https://registry.terraform.io/search/modules?namespace=kabisa&provider=datadog)
We have two base modules we use to standardise development of our Monitor Modules:
- [generic monitor](https://github.com/kabisa/terraform-datadog-generic-monitor) Used in 90% of our alerts
- [service check monitor](https://github.com/kabisa/terraform-datadog-service-check-monitor)
Modules are generated with this tool: https://github.com/kabisa/datadog-terraform-generator
# Example Usage
```terraform
module "aws_eu_west_1" {
source = "kabisa/aws-services/datadog"
for_each = toset([
"cloudformation",
"cloudtrail",
"cloudwatch",
"directconnect",
"ec2",
"ecr",
"ecs",
"eks",
"elasticache",
"elasticsearch",
"elb",
"kms",
"lambda",
"rds",
"route53",
"s3",
"ses",
"sns",
"sqs",
"vpc",
])
env = "prd"
notification_channel = "mail@example.com"
include_tags = [
"region:eu-west-1",
"service:${each.key}"
]
by_tags = [
"service"
]
name_suffix = each.key
}
```

# Getting started developing
[pre-commit](http://pre-commit.com/) was used to do Terraform linting and validating.
Steps:
- Install [pre-commit](http://pre-commit.com/). E.g. `brew install pre-commit`.
- Run `pre-commit install` in this repo. (Every time you clone a repo with pre-commit enabled you will need to run the pre-commit install command)
- That’s it! Now every time you commit a code change (`.tf` file), the hooks in the `hooks:` config `.pre-commit-config.yaml` will execute.
