How to register with Rancher using terrafrom resource "kubectl_manifest" "metrics_server"

[siddhgopal]

Hi, I created a cluster with RKE and registered it with Rancher like this:

rancher.tf

resource "kubectl_manifest" "metrics_server" {
  for_each  = var.enable_eks_rancher_import ? data.kubectl_file_documents.rancher_yaml_doc[0].manifests : {}
  yaml_body = each.value
  lifecycle {
    prevent_destroy = true
  }
}

resource "local_file" "rancher-agent-registration" {
  count    = var.enable_eks_rancher_import ? 1 : 0
  filename = "${path.module}/${timestamp()}-rancher.yml"
  content  = data.http.rancher_yaml_data[count.index].body
}

data.tf

 data "http" "rancher_yaml_data" {
  count    = var.enable_eks_rancher_import ? 1 : 0
  url      = var.import_eks_rancher_yaml_url
  insecure = true
}

data "kubectl_file_documents" "rancher_yaml_doc" {
  count   = var.enable_eks_rancher_import ? 1 : 0
  content = data.http.rancher_yaml_data[count.index].body
}

inputs.tf

variable "import_eks_rancher_yaml_url" {
  type    = string
  default = ""

}

variable "enable_eks_rancher_import" {
  type    = bool
  default = false
}

providers.tf

kubectl = {
      source = "gavinbunney/kubectl"
      version = "1.14.0"
    }

provider "kubectl" {
  host                   = local.kubernetes.host
  cluster_ca_certificate = local.kubernetes.cluster_ca_certificate
  exec {
    api_version = "client.authentication.k8s.io/v1beta1"
    args        = ["eks", "get-token", "--cluster-name", var.cluster_name]
    command     = "aws"
  }
}

terrafrom.tfvars

ENABLE_EKS_RANCHER_IMPORT = true
IMPORT_EKS_RANCHER_YAML_URL = "https://test-rancher.beta.cloud.com/v3/import/6dmcjwh7fwbxns5v87x9sxv52rkg7jqdkphjwps6wfv449tv74rhk4_c-m-pdzbws6p.yaml"

When I run Terrorform Apply for the first time, the cluster becomes active on Rancher UI.

Then, the next time I run Terrorform Apply, the Rancher agent gets disconnected from the cluster on the Rancher UI.

terraform apply output

# module.eks_post_config.kubectl_manifest.metrics_server["/apis/apps/v1/namespaces/cattle-system/deployments/cattle-cluster-agent"] will be updated in-place
 ~ resource "kubectl_manifest" "metrics_server" {
       id                      = "/apis/apps/v1/namespaces/cattle-system/deployments/cattle-cluster-agent"
       name                    = "cattle-cluster-agent"
     ~ yaml_incluster          = (sensitive value)
       # (14 unchanged attributes hidden)
   }

       # (3 unchanged attributes hidden)
   }

And updates the cattle-cluster-agent. Why does this happen, I am not able to understand. Is this a bug from Terraform's side? Is there any solution to this?

I am using the generic option to import the clusters on Rancher so that multiple clusters can be imported.

Is there any solution to this? Please help me.
