Add option to create SDT

[Scholdan]

It would be cool to add SDT using Terraform, e.g., for a default patch window.

[ChrisCAG]

We had the same requirement, we currently have a work around of tagging the device, using a dynamic group that filters for the tag on the custom property, and applying the SDT to the group.

We then use a script orchestration tool, CD/CD Pipeline with a cron trigger, to apply all the required SDT's on a monthly bases (this is a little un-necessary for most use cases, but our specific one requires it.

hope that helps :)

+1 for the feature request however

you can now do something like the following:

  count = var.logicmonitorcollectorid != "" && var.logicmonitorcollectorgroupid != "" ? 1 : 0

  type             = "ResourceSDT"
  device_id        = tonumber(logicmonitor_device.vm[0].id)
  sdt_type         = "oneTime"
  start_date_time  = var.sdt_start_time
  end_date_time    = var.sdt_end_time
  timezone         = var.sdt_timezone
  comment          = "Initial SDT for new VM build - ${var.vm_name}"

  depends_on = [logicmonitor_device.vm]
}

Yes, we've actually gone a step further with this, we've created a module to wrap around to reduce the number of variables and handle the logic, All credit for the writing goes to my colleague Brian Moore

We use this as a wrapper to only provide a type and id variable, we also use the time provider to provide the sdt time in an easier to read string, rather than epoch time.

# main.tf
locals {

  start_time_unix_seconds = provider::time::rfc3339_parse(var.start_date_time).unix
  end_time_unix_seconds   = provider::time::rfc3339_parse(var.end_date_time).unix

  start_time_unix_milliseconds = local.start_time_unix_seconds * 1000
  end_time_unix_milliseconds   = local.end_time_unix_seconds * 1000
}

resource "logicmonitor_sdt" "my_sdt" {

  type = var.type

  # Map the generic id to the correct field
  collector_id            = var.type == "CollectorSDT" ? var.id : null
  device_id               = var.type == "ResourceSDT" ? var.id : null
  device_group_id         = var.type == "ResourceGroupSDT" ? var.id : null
  data_source_instance_id = var.type == "DeviceDataSourceInstanceSDT" ? var.id : null

  start_date_time = local.start_time_unix_milliseconds
  end_date_time   = local.end_time_unix_milliseconds
  sdt_type        = var.sdt_type

  comment       = var.comment
  week_day      = var.week_day
  week_of_month = var.week_of_month
  month_day     = var.month_day
}
