Terraform Provider for Uptrends

Version 0.x of the Uptrends Provider requires Terraform 0.15.x and later, but 1.x is recommended.

Usage Example

When using the Uptrends Provider with Terraform 0.15 and later, the recommended approach is to declare Provider versions in the root module Terraform configuration, using a required_providers block as per the following example. For previous versions, please continue to pin the version within the provider block.

# We strongly recommend using the required_providers block to set the
# Uptrends Provider source and version being used
terraform {
  required_providers {
    uptrends = {
      source = "wasfree/uptrends"
      version = "=0.2.3"
    }
  }
}

# Configure the Uptrends Provider
provider "uptrends" {

  # More information on the authentication methods supported by
  # the Uptrends Provider can be found here:
  # https://registry.terraform.io/providers/wasfree/uptrends/latest/docs

  # username = "..."
  # password = "..."
}

resource "uptrends_monitor_web" "https" {
  name                       = "example-https-monitor"
  type                       = "Https"
  url                        = "https://example.org/"

  check_interval             = 10
  alert_on_load_time_limit_1 = true
  load_time_limit_1          = 3000
  alert_on_load_time_limit_2 = true
  load_time_limit_2          = 7000

  alert_on_min_bytes         = true
  min_bytes                  = 1024

  expected_http_status_code = 200

  user_agent                = "chrome83_android"
  auth_type                 = "Basic"
  username                  = "user"
  password                  = "secret"

  request_headers {
    name  = "X-Test1-Header"
    value = "true"
  }

  match_pattern {
    pattern     = "example"
    is_positive = true
  }

  selected_checkpoints {
    regions           = ["Asia", "1005"]
    checkpoints       = ["Salzburg", "1"]
    exclude_locations = ["Vancouver"]
  }
}

Further usage documentation is available on the Terraform website.

Developer Requirements

Terraform version 0.15.x + (but 1.x is recommended)
Go version 1.19.x (to build the provider plugin)

On Windows

If you're on Windows you'll also need:

For GNU32 Make, make sure its bin path is added to PATH environment variable.*

For Git Bash for Windows, at the step of "Adjusting your PATH environment", please choose "Use Git and optional Unix tools from Windows Command Prompt".*

Or install via Chocolatey (Git Bash for Windows must be installed per steps above)

choco install make golang terraform -y
refreshenv

You must run Developing the Provider commands in bash because sh scrips are invoked as part of these.

Developing the Provider

If you wish to work on the provider, you'll first need Go installed on your machine (version 1.16+ is required). You'll also need to correctly setup a GOPATH, as well as adding $GOPATH/bin to your $PATH.

First clone the repository to: $GOPATH/src/github.com/wasfree/terraform-provider-uptrends

$ mkdir -p $GOPATH/src/github.com/hashicorp; cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/hashicorp
$ git clone git@github.com:wasfree/terraform-provider-uptrends
$ cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/wasfree/terraform-provider-uptrends

Once inside the provider directory, you can run make tools to install the dependent tooling required to compile the provider.

At this point you can compile the provider by running make build, which will build the provider and put the provider binary in the $GOPATH/bin directory.

$ make build
...
$ $GOPATH/bin/terraform-provider-uptrends
...

You can also cross-compile if necessary:

GOOS=windows GOARCH=amd64 make build

In order to run the Unit Tests for the provider, you can run:

$ make test

The majority of tests in the provider are Acceptance Tests - which provisions real resources in Uptrends. It's possible to run the entire acceptance test suite by running make testacc - however it's likely you'll want to run a subset, which you can do using a prefix, by running:

make testacc

The following Environment Variables must be set in your shell prior to running acceptance tests:

UPTRENDS_USERNAME
UPTRENDS_PASSWORD

Note: Acceptance tests create real resources in Uptrends.

Developer: Using the locally compiled Uptrends Provider binary

When using Terraform 0.15 and later, after successfully compiling the Uptrends Provider, you must instruct Terraform to use your locally compiled provider binary instead of the official binary from the Terraform Registry.

For example, add the following to ~/.terraformrc for a provider binary located in /home/developer/go/bin:

provider_installation {

  # Use /home/developer/go/bin as an overridden package directory
  # for the wasfree/uptrends provider. This disables the version and checksum
  # verifications for this provider and forces Terraform to look for the
  # uptrends provider plugin in the given directory.
  dev_overrides {
    "wasfree/uptrends" = "/home/developer/go/bin"
  }

  # For all other providers, install them directly from their origin provider
  # registries as normal. If you omit this, Terraform will _only_ use
  # the dev_overrides block, and so no other providers will be available.
  direct {}
}
