+# Component: `datadog`
+
+This component is responsible for provisioning Datadog monitors and assigning Datadog roles to the monitors.
+
+It depends on the `datadog-configuration` component to get the Datadog API keys.
+
+## Usage
+
+**Stack Level**: Regional
+
+Here's an example snippet for how to use this component:
+
+```yaml
+components:
+ terraform:
+ datadog-monitor:
+ settings:
+ spacelift:
+ workspace_enabled: true
+ vars:
+ enabled: true
+ local_datadog_monitors_config_paths:
+ - "catalog/monitors/dev/*.yaml"
+```
+
+## Conventions
+
+- Treat datadog like a separate cloud provider with integrations
+ ([datadog-integration](https://docs.cloudposse.com/components/library/aws/datadog-integration)) into your accounts.
+
+- Use the `catalog` convention to define a step of alerts. You can use ours or define your own.
+ [https://github.com/cloudposse/terraform-datadog-platform/tree/master/catalog/monitors](https://github.com/cloudposse/terraform-datadog-platform/tree/master/catalog/monitors)
+
+- The monitors catalog for the datadog-monitor component support datadog monitor exports. You can use
+ [the status page of a monitor to export it from 'settings'](https://docs.datadoghq.com/monitors/manage/status/#settings).
+ You can add the export to existing files or make new ones. Because the export is json formatted, it's also yaml
+ compatible. If you prefer, you can convert the export to yaml using your text editor or a cli tool like `yq`.
+
+## Adjust Thresholds per Stack
+
+Since there are so many parameters that may be adjusted for a given monitor, we define all monitors through YAML. By
+convention, we define the **default monitors** that should apply to all environments, and then adjust the thresholds per
+environment. This is accomplished using the `datadog-monitor` components variable `local_datadog_monitors_config_paths`
+which defines the path to the YAML configuration files. By passing a path for `dev` and `prod`, we can define
+configurations that are different per environment.
+
+For example, you might have the following settings defined for `prod` and `dev` stacks that override the defaults.
+
+For the `dev` stack:
+
+```
+components:
+ terraform:
+ datadog-monitor:
+ vars:
+ # Located in the components/terraform/datadog-monitor directory
+ local_datadog_monitors_config_paths:
+ - catalog/monitors/*.yaml
+ - catalog/monitors/dev/*.yaml # note this line
+```
+
+For `prod` stack:
+
+```
+components:
+ terraform:
+ datadog-monitor:
+ vars:
+ # Located in the components/terraform/datadog-monitor directory
+ local_datadog_monitors_config_paths:
+ - catalog/monitors/*.yaml
+ - catalog/monitors/prod/*.yaml # note this line
+```
+
+Behind the scenes (with `atmos`) we fetch all files from these glob patterns, template them, and merge them by key. If
+we peek into the `*.yaml` and `dev/*.yaml` files above you could see an example like this:
+
+**components/terraform/datadog-monitor/catalog/monitors/elb.yaml**
+
+```
+elb-lb-httpcode-5xx-notify:
+ name: "(ELB) {{ env }} HTTP 5XX client error detected"
+ type: query alert
+ query: |
+ avg(last_15m):max:aws.elb.httpcode_elb_5xx{${context_dd_tags}} by {env,host} > 20
+ message: |
+ [${ dd_env }] [ {{ env }} ] lb:[ {{host}} ]
+ {{#is_warning}}
+ Number of HTTP 5XX client error codes generated by the load balancer > {{warn_threshold}}%
+ {{/is_warning}}
+ {{#is_alert}}
+ Number of HTTP 5XX client error codes generated by the load balancer > {{threshold}}%
+ {{/is_alert}}
+ Check LB
+ escalation_message: ""
+ tags: {}
+ options:
+ renotify_interval: 60
+ notify_audit: false
+ require_full_window: true
+ include_tags: true
+ timeout_h: 0
+ evaluation_delay: 60
+ new_host_delay: 300
+ new_group_delay: 0
+ groupby_simple_monitor: false
+ renotify_occurrences: 0
+ renotify_statuses: []
+ validate: true
+ notify_no_data: false
+ no_data_timeframe: 5
+ priority: 3
+ threshold_windows: {}
+ thresholds:
+ critical: 50
+ warning: 20
+ priority: 3
+ restricted_roles: null
+```
+
+**components/terraform/datadog-monitor/catalog/monitors/dev/elb.yaml**
+
+```
+elb-lb-httpcode-5xx-notify:
+ query: |
+ avg(last_15m):max:aws.elb.httpcode_elb_5xx{${context_dd_tags}} by {env,host} > 30
+ priority: 2
+ options:
+ thresholds:
+ critical: 30
+ warning: 10
+```
+
+## Key Notes
+
+### Inheritance
+
+The important thing to note here is that the default yaml is applied to every stage that it's deployed to. For dev
+specifically however, we want to override the thresholds and priority for this monitor. This merging is done by key of
+the monitor, in this case `elb-lb-httpcode-5xx-notify`.
+
+### Templating
+
+The second thing to note is `${ dd_env }`. This is **terraform** templating in action. While double braces (`{{ env }}`)
+refers to datadog templating, `${ dd_env }` is a template variable we pass into our monitors. in this example we use it
+to specify a grouping int he message. This value is passed in and can be overridden via stacks.
+
+We pass a value via:
+
+```
+components:
+ terraform:
+ datadog-monitor:
+ vars:
+ # Located in the components/terraform/datadog-monitor directory
+ local_datadog_monitors_config_paths:
+ - catalog/monitors/*.yaml
+ - catalog/monitors/dev/*.yaml
+ # templatefile() is used for all yaml config paths with these variables.
+ datadog_monitors_config_parameters:
+ dd_env: "dev"
+```
+
+This allows us to further use inheritance from stack configuration to keep our monitors dry, but configurable.
+
+Another available option is to use our catalog as base monitors and then override them with your specific fine tuning.
+
+```
+components:
+ terraform:
+ datadog-monitor:
+ vars:
+ local_datadog_monitors_config_paths:
+ - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cloudposse/terraform-datadog-platform/0.27.0/catalog/monitors/ec2.yaml
+ - catalog/monitors/ec2.yaml
+```
+
+## Other Gotchas
+
+Our integration action that checks for `'source_type_name' equals 'Monitor Alert'` will also be true for synthetics.
+Whereas if we check for `'event_type' equals 'query_alert_monitor'`, that's only true for monitors, because synthetics
+will only be picked up by an integration action when `event_type` is `synthetics_alert`.
+
+This is important if we need to distinguish between monitors and synthetics in OpsGenie, which is the case when we want
+to ensure clean messaging on OpsGenie incidents in Statuspage.

+| [additional\_tag\_map](#input\_additional\_tag\_map) | Additional key-value pairs to add to each map in `tags_as_list_of_maps`. Not added to `tags` or `id`.
This is for some rare cases where resources want additional configuration of tags
and therefore take a list of maps with tag key, value, and additional configuration. | `map(string)` | `{}` | no |

+| [alert\_tags\_separator](#input\_alert\_tags\_separator) | Separator for the alert tags. All strings from the `alert_tags` variable will be joined into one string using the separator and then added to the alert message | `string` | `"\n"` | no |
+| [attributes](#input\_attributes) | ID element. Additional attributes (e.g. `workers` or `cluster`) to add to `id`,
in the order they appear in the list. New attributes are appended to the
end of the list. The elements of the list are joined by the `delimiter`
and treated as a single ID element. | `list(string)` | `[]` | no |
+| [context](#input\_context) | Single object for setting entire context at once.
See description of individual variables for details.
Leave string and numeric variables as `null` to use default value.
Individual variable settings (non-null) override settings in context object,
except for attributes, tags, and additional\_tag\_map, which are merged. | `any` |
