Goals of this project?

[philippfrank]

To the PM/lead of this project: We really love LogDNA and the fact that you work on a TF provider is great. However, you do not support the most basic operations that make LogDNA great, for example:

• Line templates. I can only set them via the user interface. They are essential to a good log consumption experience and yet the provider does not support them. I reported this when 1.1.0 was out, that is 6 versions ago. See Support for line template #22
• Attaching existing slack channel alerts to views. See Bug: provider will update resources in place when they have slack channels attached #40. This essentially makes the provider useless for us.

In my naive thinking, I would expect that you cover existing resources (views and alerts being the most basic elements of your app) to an extent that one can work with it. Everything else is just frustrating.

Hi @philippfrank ! PM here :)

Really appreciate your feedback for our TF provider. I love that you are enjoying our line templates feature to help with log consumption — just so I can better understand how you are envisioning our TF Provider supporting, do you imagine being able to define a persisted line template as a part of a View resource in TF?

Also we are investigating some of the other bugs you've reported and will get back to you asap. We should be supporting the ability to add Slack channel alerts to Views.

Thanks for the quick response:

[...] do you imagine being able to define a persisted line template as a part of a View resource in TF?

Yes

We should be supporting the ability to add Slack channel alerts to Views

Could you point me to a piece of documentation about how I can attach an existing slack alert channel to a view (versus: creating an inline slack channel alert).

Hi @philippfrank, thanks for your reply.

1. Support for line template #22 Is now in our backlog
2. To clarify @alfeng6 response, with the current release we only support recreating the view specific alert. To attach a preset, we will be fixing it as stated here (Bug: provider will update resources in place when they have slack channels attached #40 (comment))
