allows you to create a composite monitor about terraform-provider-datadog

[eredi93]

@nyanshak i updated the docs https://github.com/terraform-providers/terraform-provider-datadog/pull/24 😄

[nyanshak]

The plugin already supports it (I was testing this recently as well):

resource "datadog_monitor" "monitor1" {
   ... cut (any valid monitor definition) ...
}

resource "datadog_monitor" "monitor2" {
   ... cut (any valid monitor definition) ...
}

resource "datadog_monitor" "test_composite" {
  name    = "test_composite"
  type    = "composite"
  message = "test composite"

  query = "${datadog_monitor.monitor1.id} || ${datadog_monitor.monitor2.id}"
}

Is that what you mean?

Yes, thank you.
Maybe we should update the docs

How can one reach the id in case the monitor has been defined in a module?

module "monitor_simple_sample" {
   source = "./monitor"
...
}

module "monitor_complex_sample" {
   source = "./monitor"
...
}

module "monitor_composite_sample" {
  source = "./monitor"
  type = "composite"
  query = "${module.monitor_simple_sample.id} && ${module.monitor_complex_sample.id}"
}

In case of something like this I will get a:

Error: Reference to undeclared output value

  on ../datadog/main.tf line 35, in module "monitor_composite_sample":
  35:   query = "${module.monitor_simple_sample.id} && ${module.monitor_complex_sample.id}"

An output value with the name "id" has not been declared in
module.datadog.module.monitor_complex_sample.
