terraform-provider-pingdom

This project is a terraform provider for pingdom.

This currently only supports working with basic HTTP and ping checks.

Build and install

Dependencies

You should have a working Go environment setup. If not check out the Go getting started guide.

This project uses Go Modules for dependency management. To fetch all dependencies run go get inside this repository.

Build

go get github.com/lifechurch/terraform-provider-pingdom

The binary will then be available at ~/go/bin/terraform-provider-pingdom, unless you've set $GOPATH, in which case you'll find it at $GOPATH/bin

Install

You will need to install the binary as a terraform third party plugin. Terraform will then pick up the binary from the local filesystem when you run terraform init.

ln -s ~/go/bin/terraform-provider-pingdom ~/.terraform.d/plugins/$(uname | tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]')_amd64/terraform-provider-pingdom_v$(date +%Y.%m.%d)

Updates can now be applied by re-running go get -u github.com/lifechurch/terraform-provider-pingdom.

Usage

Basic Check

variable "pingdom_api_token" {}

provider "pingdom" {
    api_token = "${var.pingdom_api_token}"
}

resource "pingdom_check" "example" {
    type = "http"
    name = "my http check"
    host = "example.com"
    resolution = 5
}

resource "pingdom_check" "example_with_alert" {
    type = "http"
    name = "my http check"
    host = "example.com"
    resolution = 5
    sendnotificationwhendown = 2
    integrationids = [
      12345678,
      23456789
    ]
}

resource "pingdom_check" "ping_example" {
    type = "ping"
    name = "my ping check"
    host = "example.com"
    resolution = 1
}

Apply with:

 terraform apply \
    -var 'pingdom_api_token=YOUR_API_TOKEN'

notifyagainevery - Notify again after n results. A value of 0 means no additional notifications will be sent.

notifywhenbackup - Notify when backup.

integrationids - List of integer integration IDs (defined by webhook URL) that will be triggered by the alerts. The ID can be extracted from the integrations page URL on the pingdom website.

userids - List of integer user IDs that will be notified when the check is down.

teamids - List of integer team IDs that will be notified when the check is down.
