Live Automation Dashboard [DataDog + Terraform]

Live automation dashboard in Datadog using Terraform

Create Dashboard

• Update api and app keys in /dev/main.tf file

  module "dashboard" {
    source = "../modules/qa"
    api_key = "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
    app_key = "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
  }
  

• Now, init, compile and apply changes in the datadog server

  cd ./dev/
  terraform init
  terraform plan
  terraform apply -auto-approve
  

Test Runner

Run and export your tests results in the DataDog Dashboard; (I used python scripting, but it can be in any languages)

pip install -r requirements.txt
export API_KEY=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
python main.py

Setup

FOR MAC

• Download and config datadog account

  DD_AGENT_MAJOR_VERSION=7 DD_API_KEY=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx bash -c "$(curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/DataDog/datadog-agent/master/cmd/agent/install_mac_os.sh)"
