terraform-provider-nrs

A Terraform provider for New Relic Synthetics. This provider can be used to manage the lifecycle of Synthetics monitors and alert condititions with Terraform.

Installing

First, grab the latest release from Github and extract the binaries:

$ wget https://github.com/dollarshaveclub/terraform-provider-nrs/releases/download/0.1.0/terraform-provider-nrs-0.1.0.tar.gz
$ tar -xf terraform-provider-nrs-0.1.0.tar.gz

Within the release, there are two binaries, one for Linux and one for MacOS:

• terraform-provider-nrs/darwin-amd64/terraform-provider-nrs
• terraform-provider-nrs/linux-amd64/terraform-provider-nrs

Take note of which is appropriate for the architecture of your system.

Copy the binary to /usr/local/bin:

// Substitute $ARCH with either darwin-amd64 or linux-amd64
$ cp terraform-provider-nrs/$ARCH/terraform-provider-nrs /usr/local/bin

Modify ~/.terraformrc so that it has these contents:

providers {
    nrs = "/usr/local/bin/terraform-provider-nrs
}

The provider should now be useable from within Terraform!

Example

provider "nrs" {
  newrelic_api_key = "REDACTED"
}

resource "nrs_monitor" "new_monitor" {
  name = "monitor_name"

  // The monitor's checking frequency in minutes (one of 1, 5, 10,
  // 15, 30, 60, 360, 720, or 1440).
  frequency = 60

  // The monitoring locations. A list can be found at the endpoint:
  // https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/synthetics/new-relic-synthetics/administration/synthetics-public-minion-ips 
  locations = ["AWS_US_WEST_1"]

  status = "ENABLED"

  // The type of monitor (one of SIMPLE, BROWSER, SCRIPT_API,
  // SCRIPT_BROWSER)
  type = "SCRIPT_BROWSER"

  sla_threshold = 7

  // The URI to check. This only applies to SIMPLE and BROWSER
  // monitors.
  uri = "https://www.dollarshaveclub.com"

  // The API or browser script to execute. This only applies to
  // SCRIPT_API or SCRIPT_BROWSER monitors. Docs can be found here:
  // https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/synthetics/new-relic-synthetics/scripting-monitors/write-scripted-browsers
  script = "console.log('this is a check!')"
}

resource "nrs_alert_condition" "new_condition" {
  name = "test-condition"
  monitor_id = "${nrs_monitor.new_monitor.id}"
  enabled = true
  policy_id = "${newrelic_alert_policy.new_policy.id}"
}

Import

In case of using import for alerts condition be aware that provider needs two value to do correct import.

terraform import name_of_resource policy_id:condition_id
terraform import nrs_alert_condition.alert1 123456:567890

For importing monitors only id of monitor is needed:

terraform import name_of_resource monitor_id
terraform import nrs_monitor.monitor1 d02c69d5-bac8-4243-91f4-4f9c62a7c71c
