## How to use this module?

This directory defines a [Terraform](https://www.terraform.io/)
[module](https://www.terraform.io/language/modules/syntax) you can use in your
existing [stack](https://github.com/claranet/terraform-signalfx-detectors/wiki/Getting-started#stack) by adding a
`module` configuration and setting its `source` parameter to URL of this folder:

```hcl
module "signalfx-detectors-smart-agent-ftp" {
source = "github.com/claranet/terraform-signalfx-detectors.git//modules/smart-agent_custom_ftp?ref={revision}"

environment = var.environment
notifications = local.notifications
}
```

Note the following parameters:

* `source`: Use this parameter to specify the URL of the module. The double slash (`//`) is intentional and required.
Terraform uses it to specify subfolders within a Git repo (see [module
sources](https://www.terraform.io/language/modules/sources)). The `ref` parameter specifies a specific Git tag in
this repository. It is recommended to use the latest "pinned" version in place of `{revision}`. Avoid using a branch
like `master` except for testing purpose. Note that every modules in this repository are available on the Terraform
[registry](https://registry.terraform.io/modules/claranet/detectors/signalfx) and we recommend using it as source
instead of `git` which is more flexible but less future-proof.

* `environment`: Use this parameter to specify the
[environment](https://github.com/claranet/terraform-signalfx-detectors/wiki/Getting-started#environment) used by this
instance of the module.
Its value will be added to the `prefixes` list at the start of the [detector
name](https://github.com/claranet/terraform-signalfx-detectors/wiki/Templating#example).
In general, it will also be used in the `filtering` internal sub-module to [apply
filters](https://github.com/claranet/terraform-signalfx-detectors/wiki/Guidance#filtering) based on our default
[tagging convention](https://github.com/claranet/terraform-signalfx-detectors/wiki/Tagging-convention) by default.

* `notifications`: Use this parameter to define where alerts should be sent depending on their severity. It consists
of a Terraform [object](https://www.terraform.io/language/expressions/type-constraints#object) where each key represents an available
[detector rule severity](https://docs.splunk.com/observability/alerts-detectors-notifications/create-detectors-for-alerts.html#severity)
and its value is a list of recipients. Every recipients must respect the [detector notification
format](https://registry.terraform.io/providers/splunk-terraform/signalfx/latest/docs/resources/detector#notification-format).
Check the [notification binding](https://github.com/claranet/terraform-signalfx-detectors/wiki/Notifications-binding)
documentation to understand the recommended role of each severity.

These 3 parameters along with all variables defined in [common-variables.tf](common-variables.tf) are common to all
[modules](../) in this repository. Other variables, specific to this module, are available in
[variables-gen.tf](variables-gen.tf).
In general, the default configuration "works" but all of these Terraform
[variables](https://www.terraform.io/language/values/variables) make it possible to
customize the detectors behavior to better fit your needs.

Most of them represent usual tips and rules detailed in the
[guidance](https://github.com/claranet/terraform-signalfx-detectors/wiki/Guidance) documentation and listed in the
common [variables](https://github.com/claranet/terraform-signalfx-detectors/wiki/Variables) dedicated documentation.

Feel free to explore the [wiki](https://github.com/claranet/terraform-signalfx-detectors/wiki) for more information about
general usage of this repository.

## What are the available detectors in this module?

This module creates the following SignalFx detectors which could contain one or multiple alerting rules:

| Detector |Critical|Major|Minor|Warning|Info|
|-----------------------------|---|---|---|---|---|
| FTP DOWN |X|-|-|-|-|
## How to collect required metrics?

This module deploys detectors using metrics reported by the
[SignalFx Smart Agent Monitors](https://github.com/signalfx/signalfx-agent#monitors).

Even if the [Smart Agent is deprecated](https://github.com/signalfx/signalfx-agent/blob/main/docs/smartagent-deprecation-notice.md)
it remains an efficient, lightweight and simple monitoring agent which still works fine.
See the [official documentation](https://docs.splunk.com/Observability/gdi/smart-agent/smart-agent-resources.html) for more information
about this agent.
You might find the related following documentations useful:
- the global level [agent configuration](https://github.com/signalfx/signalfx-agent/blob/main/docs/config-schema.md)
- the [monitor level configuration](https://github.com/signalfx/signalfx-agent/blob/main/docs/monitor-config.md)
- the internal [agent configuration tips](https://github.com/claranet/terraform-signalfx-detectors/wiki/Guidance#agent-configuration).
- the full list of [monitors available](https://github.com/signalfx/signalfx-agent/tree/main/docs/monitors) with their own specific documentation.

In addition, all of these monitors are still available in the [Splunk Otel Collector](https://github.com/signalfx/splunk-otel-collector),
the Splunk [distro of OpenTelemetry Collector](https://opentelemetry.io/docs/concepts/distributions/) which replaces SignalFx Smart Agent,
thanks to the internal [Smart Agent Receiver](https://github.com/signalfx/splunk-otel-collector/tree/main/pkg/receiver/smartagentreceiver).

As a result:
- any SignalFx Smart Agent monitor are compatible with the new agent OpenTelemetry Collector and related modules in this repository keep `smart-agent` as source name.
- any OpenTelemetry receiver not based on an existing Smart Agent monitor is not available from old agent so related modules in this repository use `otel-collector` as source name.


Check the [Related documentation](#related-documentation) section for more detailed and specific information about this module dependencies.

### Monitors

This monitor is only available from agent version `>= 5.2.0` but it has evolved since and we
recommend to use at least version `v5.5.6`.

Check the examples in the official monitor documentation and the Notes section below.


### Metrics


To filter only required metrics for the detectors of this module, add the
[datapointsToExclude](https://docs.splunk.com/observability/gdi/smart-agent/smart-agent-resources.html#filtering-data-using-the-smart-agent)
parameter to the corresponding monitor configuration:

```yaml
datapointsToExclude:
- metricNames:
- '*'
- '!ftp.status_code'

```

## Notes

This module creates some detectors to check web urls and optionally their associated tls certificates.

* By default, `signalfx-agent` collection interval is `10s`. Depending of webservices
checked this could dangerous or useless to requet them as often so you can change
`intervalSeconds` monitor(s) parameter as you prefer.

* The transformation allows to adapt sensitivity applying its function on a timeframe
which will change the evaluated value. The alert will be raised as soon the conditions are
met but comapared to a transformed value not true to reality and obviously more favorable.
This also affect the chart which could be not desired especially for troubleshooting
(webchecks often require accuracy). I.e. `max(over='15m')` on `ftp_code_matched` will
always be OK (`1`) on alert (and so chart also) even if more than `50%` of checks done
on the timeframe are failed.

* The `lasting` function does not change the value. It could apply on an evaluated value
different from the orginal (i.e. if you set `transformation_function` explicitely).
The chart will show the exact real value and even alert condition itself will be met
strictly immediately but alert will be raised only at the end of lasting timeframe
if the conditions have always remained.

* By default, this module will raise alerts these detectors with moderate sensitivity in
combination with `10s` collection interval and `lasting('60s')`: `6` datapoints for 1m
so the webcheck could fail 5 consecutive times before raising alert.

* Feel free to use variables to adapt this sensitivity depending of your needs to make
detectors more tolerant (increasing lasting timeframe or even adding transformation) or
more strict (decreasing lasting timeframe or changing transformation function from `max`
to `min`).

* If you have multiple webhecks which require different sensitivity level so you can add
common dimension using `addExtraDimensions` to set of similar monitors on agent. Then,
you can import as many times this module with different value for `filtering_custom` variable
to match these different dimension(s) value(s).
