Terraform Dead Man's Snitch Provider

This is a fork of plukevdh/terraform-provider-dmsnitch.

Usage

First create an API token in the Dead Man's Snitch dashboard. Note: Use of the DMS API requires a paid plan.

Copy this key and configure the DMS provider:

provider "dmsnitch" {
  api_key = var.dms_key
}

Optionally, this can be configured using the envvar DMS_TOKEN to avoid storing the token in plaintext config.

Then you can create and manage your DMS snitches like so:

resource "dmsnitch_snitch" "mysnitch" {
  name = "My Important Service"
  notes = "Description or other notes about this snitch."
  
  interval = "daily" 
  type = "basic"
  tags = ["one", "two"]
}

You then might use this resource to perform database backup event check-ins with another provider, such as AWS RDS events.

resource "aws_sns_topic" "backup_event" {
  name = "db-backup-events"
}

resource "aws_db_event_subscription" "backup_event" {
  name      = "db-backup-events"
  sns_topic = aws_sns_topic.sbackup_event.arn

  source_type = "db-instance"
  source_ids  = [aws_db_instance.db.id]

  event_categories = [
    "backup",
  ]
}

resource "aws_sns_topic_subscription" "backup_event" {
  endpoint               = dmsnitch_snitch.mysnitch.url
  protocol               = "https"
  endpoint_auto_confirms = true
  topic_arn              = aws_sns_topic.backup_event.arn
}

You can also import existing snitches using their token found in the snitch's page URL:

terraform import dmsnitch_snitch.mysnitch xxx
