AWS Observability Accelerator for Terraform

Welcome to the AWS Observability Accelerator for Terraform!

The AWS Observability Accelerator for Terraform is a set of opinionated modules to help you set up observability for your AWS environments with AWS-managed observability services such as Amazon Managed Service for Prometheus, Amazon Managed Grafana, AWS Distro for OpenTelemetry (ADOT) and Amazon CloudWatch.

We provide curated metrics, logs, traces collection, alerting rules and Grafana dashboards for your EKS infrastructure, Java/JMX, NGINX based workloads and your custom applications.

You also can monitor your Amazon Managed Service for Prometheus workspaces ingestion, costs, active series with this module.

⚠️ Migration to v2.5

If you are migrating from earlier versions to v2.5, please follow this guide.

v2.5.0 removes the dependency to the Terraform Grafana provider in the EKS monitoring module. As Grafana Operator manages and syncs the Grafana contents, Terraform is not required anymore in this context.

However, if you migrate from earlier versions, you might leave some data orphans as the Grafana provider is dropped. Terraform will throw an error. We have released v2.5.0-rc.1 which removes all the Grafana resources provisioned by Terraform in the EKS context, without removing the provider configurations.

• Step 1: migrate to v2.5.0-rc.1 and run apply
• Step 2: migrate to v2.5.0 or above

How it works

The sections below demonstrate how you can leverage AWS Observability Accelerator to enable monitoring to an existing EKS cluster.

Base Module

The base module allows you to configure the AWS Observability services for your cluster and the AWS Distro for OpenTelemetry (ADOT) Operator as the signals collection mechanism.

This is the minimum configuration to have a new Amazon Managed Service for Prometheus Workspace and ADOT Operator deployed for you and ready to receive your data. The base module serve as an anchor to the workload modules and cannot run on its own.

module "aws_observability_accelerator" {
  # use release tags and check for the latest versions
  # https://github.com/aws-observability/terraform-aws-observability-accelerator/releases
  source = "github.com/aws-observability/terraform-aws-observability-accelerator?ref=v2.1.0"

  aws_region     = "eu-west-1"
  eks_cluster_id = "my-eks-cluster"

  # As Grafana shares a different lifecycle, we recommend using an existing workspace.
  managed_grafana_workspace_id = var.managed_grafana_workspace_id
}

You can optionally reuse an existing Amazon Managed Servce for Prometheus Workspace:

module "aws_observability_accelerator" {
  # use release tags and check for the latest versions
  # https://github.com/aws-observability/terraform-aws-observability-accelerator/releases
  source = "github.com/aws-observability/terraform-aws-observability-accelerator?ref=v2.1.0"

  aws_region     = "eu-west-1"
  eks_cluster_id = "my-eks-cluster"

  # prevents creation of a new Amazon Managed Prometheus workspace
  enable_managed_prometheus = false

  # reusing existing Amazon Managed Prometheus Workspace
  managed_prometheus_workspace_id  = "ws-abcd123..."

  managed_grafana_workspace_id = "g-abcdef123"
}

View all the configuration options in the module documentation below.

Workload modules

Workloads modules are provided, which essentially provide curated metrics, logs, traces collection, alerting rules and Grafana dashboards.

Amazon EKS monitoring

module "eks_monitoring" {
  source = "github.com/aws-observability/terraform-aws-observability-accelerator//modules/eks-monitoring?ref=v2.1.0"

  eks_cluster_id = module.eks_observability_accelerator.eks_cluster_id

  dashboards_folder_id            = module.eks_observability_accelerator.grafana_dashboards_folder_id
  managed_prometheus_workspace_id = module.eks_observability_accelerator.managed_prometheus_workspace_id

  managed_prometheus_workspace_endpoint = module.eks_observability_accelerator.managed_prometheus_workspace_endpoint
  managed_prometheus_workspace_region   = module.eks_observability_accelerator.managed_prometheus_workspace_region

  enable_logs = true
  enable_tracing = true
}

Motivation

To gain deep visibility into your workloads and environments, AWS proposes a set of secure, scalable, highly available, production-grade managed open source services such as Amazon Managed Service for Prometheus, Amazon Managed Grafana and Amazon OpenSearch.

AWS customers have asked for best-practices and guidance to collect metrics, logs and traces from their containerized applications and microservices with ease of deployment. Customers can use the AWS Observability Accelerator to configure their metrics and traces collection, leveraging AWS Distro for OpenTelemetry, to have opinionated dashboards and alerts available in only minutes.
