New Relic APM Terraform module

Terraform module which creates a monitoring strategy for application resources reporting into New Relic.

This module is capable of creating an alert policy, simple Synthetics monitor, and alert conditions (Apdex (High), Response Time (High), Error rate (High), Synthetics failure) for a given application reporting data into APM.

The following resource types are provisioned via use of this module:

• Alert Policy
• NRQL Alert Condition
• Synthetics Monitor
• Synthetics Alert Condition

Terraform versions

Terraform 0.12 is required.

Usage

data "newrelic_alert_channel" "pager" {
    name = "Page Developer Toolkit Team"
}

module "dummy-app-monitor" {
    source = "newrelic/apm/newrelic"

    account_id = 2520528
    application_name = "Dummy App"

    # An Apdex alert condition will be created with sensible defaults without the use of these attributes.
    apdex_warning_threshold = 0.9
    apdex_critical_threshold = 0.8

    # An error rate alert condition will be created with sensible defaults without the use of these attributes.
    error_rate_warning_threshold = 5
    error_rate_critical_threshold = 10

    # Specifying an application URL will provision a Synthetics monitor and associated alert condition.
    application_url = "https://www.dummyapp.com"
    synthetics_monitor_verify_ssl = true

    # Response time alert condition will not be provisioned unless a critical violation threshold is specified.
    response_time_critical_threshold = 3

    channel_ids = [data.newrelic_alert_channel.pager.id]
}

Notes

1. This module does not create a notification channel. Use the newrelic_alert_channel resource for this.
