fetch channel id and event ids in the terraform

[pavan141994]

Hi, Can you please let me know how to fetch channel id in integration ids and event ids in event filter rule id on instana_alerting_channel resource.

Thanks in advance.

@pavan141994 If you maintain the alerting channels as well in terraform you can fetch the id form the resources:

instana_alerting_channel.my_channel.id

Alternatively you could define a data source to fetch the define alerting channel and then get the id from the data source: https://registry.terraform.io/providers/gessnerfl/instana/latest/docs/data-sources/alerting_channel

For custom event specifications you can fetch id as well its terraform resource when maintained in terraform. Otherwise you have to get the id from the user interface and maintain it as a string in code. For built-in events you can again use the corresponding data source: https://registry.terraform.io/providers/gessnerfl/instana/latest/docs/data-sources/builtin_event_spec

If you maintain alerting channels or events in different terraform projects you can export the required data as output parameters and import the remote state in the terraform project where you maintain the instana_alerting_config.
