Terraform Provider for ThousandEyes

The Terraform provider for ThousandEyes allows you to manage resources in ThousandEyes.

Requirements

• Terraform 0.12.x
• Go 1.17 (to build the provider plugin)

Usage

The provider is on the Terraform registry. To use it, add the following code and run terraform init:

terraform {
  required_providers {
    thousandeyes = {
      source = "thousandeyes/thousandeyes"
      version = ">= 1.3.1"
    }
  }
}

Setting up provider

provider "thousandeyes" {
  token = "xxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxx"
}

The provider requires a token. The token can be set on the token variable, as shown in the example, or it may instead be passed via the TE_TOKEN environment variable.

The provider also supports the following optional settings:

• account_group_id may be set to distinguish between affected account groups, if your ThousandEyes account supports more than one. This may instead be set by the environment variable TE_AID.
• timeout may be set to specify the number of seconds to wait for responses from the ThousandEyes endpoints. This may instead be set by the environment variable TE_TIMEOUT. If this is unset or set to 0, then the thousandeyes-sdk-go library will use its default settings.

Examples

Example of an HTTP test:

data "thousandeyes_agent" "arg_cordoba" {
  agent_name = "Cordoba, Argentina"
}

resource "thousandeyes_http_server" "www_thousandeyes_http_test" {
  test_name      = "Example HTTP test set from Terraform provider"
  interval       = 120
  alerts_enabled = false

  url = "https://www.thousandeyes.com"

  agents {
    agent_id = data.thousandeyes_agent.arg_cordoba.agent_id
  }
}

Supported tests

• agent-to-agent
• agent-to-server
• bgp
• dnssec
• dns-server
• dns-trace
• ftp-server

Building The Provider

Clone repository to: $GOPATH/src/github.com/thousandeyes/terraform-provider-thousandeyes

$ git clone git@github.com:thousandeyes/terraform-provider-thousandeyes $GOPATH/src/github.com/thousandeyes/terraform-provider-thousandeyes

Enter the provider directory and build the provider:

$ cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/thousandeyes/terraform-provider-thousandeyes
$ make build

Follow the instructions to install it as a plugin. After placing it into your plugins directory, run terraform init to initialize it.

Maintainers

This provider plugin is maintained by the ThousandEyes engineering team and accepts community contributions.

Note

The docs/ folder should not be changed manually. Instead, if there are changes to the examples, inputs/outputs of any data_source or resource, you need to run go generate locally and commit the resulting changes to the .md files.
