resource_datadog_monitor - Null attributes not being skiped even when no needed - variables.0.event_query.0.search.0.query" is required, but no │ definition was found. about terraform-provider-datadog

Try using something like the following:

dynamic "variables" {
    for_each = each.value.variables_name != null ? [1] : []
    content {
      event_query {
        name        = each.value.variables_name
        data_source = each.value.data_source
        search {
          query = each.value.search_query
        }
        compute {
          aggregation = each.value.aggregation
        }
      }
    }
  }

instead of explicitly defining the variables block. This dynamic block will omit the variables block if each.value.variables_name is null.

Sorry, but this is working as expected. We don't plan on silently skipping invalid configurations. I suggest you change your for_each to avoid including invalid event_query blocks, either by making the variables block dynamic, or having a conditional that sets variables to null if the monitor doesn't have an applicable event_query definition

We already tried making this variables NULL when not needed by some monitors but DD its still looking for it
This is the message we are receiving.

"variables.0.event_query.0.data_source" is required, but no │ definition was found"

This is in fact the real issue, not accepting the NULL for this variables

Thanks a lot @nkzou !

That solved our problem and now our integration is working as expected with this dynamic block

Greetings!
