Logz.io Terraform provider

The Terraform Logz.io provider offers a great way to build integrations using Logz.io APIs.

Terraform is an infrastructure orchestrator written in Hashicorp Language (HCL). It is a popular Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) tool that does away with manual configuration processes. You can take advantage of the Terraform Logz.io provider to really streamline the process of integrating observability into your dev workflows.

This guide assumes working knowledge of HashiCorp Terraform. If you're new to Terraform, we've got a great introduction if you're in for one. We also recommend the official Terraform guides and tutorials.

• Log-based alerts
• Sub accounts
• Alerts(v2)
• Log shipping token
• Drop filters
• Archive logs
• Restore logs

Working with Terraform

Before you begin, you'll need:

• Terraform CLI
• Logz.io API token

Get the Terraform Logz.io Provider

To install this provider, copy and paste this code into your Terraform configuration:

terraform {
  required_providers {
    logzio = {
      source = "logzio/logzio"
    }
  }
}

This will install the latest Logz.io provider. If you wish to use a specific version of the provider, add under source the field version and specify your preferred version.

Configuring the provider

The provider accepts the following arguments:

• api_token - (Required) The API token is used for authentication. Learn more.

• region - (Defaults to null) The 2-letter region code identifies where your Logz.io account is hosted. Defaults to null for accounts hosted in the US East - Northern Virginia region. Learn more

Example

You can pass the variables in a bash command for the arguments:

provider "logzio" {
  api_token = var.api_token
  region= var.your_api_region
}

Example - Create a new alert and a new Slack notification endpoint

Here's a great example demonstrating how easy it is to get up and running quickly with the Terraform Logz.io Provider.

This example adds a new Slack notification channel and creates a new alert in Kibana that will send notifications to the newly-created Slack channel.

The alert in this example will trigger whenever Logz.io records 10 loglevel:ERROR messages in 10 minutes.

terraform {
  required_providers {
    logzio = {
      source = "logzio/logzio"
    }
  }
}

provider "logzio" {
  api_token = "my-token"
  region= "au"
}

resource "logzio_endpoint" "my_endpoint" {
  title = "my_endpoint"
  description = "my slack endpoint"
  endpoint_type = "slack"
  slack {
    url = "${var.slack_url}"
  }
}

resource "logzio_alert_v2" "my_alert" {
  depends_on = [logzio_endpoint.my_endpoint]
  title = "hello_there"
  search_timeframe_minutes = 5
  is_enabled = false
  tags = ["some", "words"]
  suppress_notifications_minutes = 5
  alert_notification_endpoints = ["${logzio_endpoint.my_endpoint.id}"]
  output_type = "JSON"
  sub_components {
    query_string = "loglevel:ERROR"
    should_query_on_all_accounts = true
    operation = "GREATER_THAN"
    value_aggregation_type = "COUNT"
    severity_threshold_tiers {
      severity = "HIGH"
      threshold = 10
    }
    severity_threshold_tiers {
      severity = "INFO"
      threshold = 5
    }
  }
}

Example - Create user

This example will create a user in your Logz.io account.

terraform {
  required_providers {
    logzio = {
      source = "logzio/logzio"
    }
  }
}

variable "api_token" {
  type = "string"
  description = "Your logzio API token"
}

variable "account_id" {
  description = "The account ID where the new user will be created"
}

provider "logzio" {
  api_token = var.api_token
  region = var.region
}

resource "logzio_user" "my_user" {
  username = "[email protected]"
  fullname = "John Doe"
  roles = [ 2 ]
  account_id = var.account_id
}

Run the above plan using the following bash script:

export TF_LOG=DEBUG
terraform init
TF_VAR_api_token=${LOGZIO_API_TOKEN} TF_VAR_region=${LOGZIO_REGION} terraform plan -out terraform.plan
terraform apply terraform.plan

Before you run the script, update the arguments to match your details. See our examples for some complete working examples.
