CDK Datadog

CDK Datadog is a CDK wrapper around the official Datadog AWS CloudFormation Resources. CDK Datadog supports the following resource types in Version 4.7.1 (see above):

• Monitors: Datadog::Monitors::Monitor

Note: Version 4 of Datadog AWS CloudFormation Resouces is not backwards compatible. If you're stuck with version 3.x, use version 1.0.1 of CDK Datadog.

Usage

In order to use the CDK constructs defined by this library, you must first register the Datadog resource with your CloudFormation registry by following the official documentation.

After enabling the extension, you need to configure it (follow the official documenation). At least you need to configure "DatadogCredentials".

DatadogMonitor

The following example demonstrates a minimal setup for a monitor:

new DatadogMonitor.DatadogMonitor(stack, 'MyDatadogMonitor', {
    query: 'avg(last_5m):max:aws.sqs.approximate_age_of_oldest_message{queuename:MyQueue} > 100',
    type: 'query alert',
});

Refer to the interface DatadogMonitorProps in order to explore the properties that have been exposed.

In case of unsupported properties, provide them manually as follows:.

additionalMonitorParams: {
    Options: {
        Locked: true
    },
    Creator: {
        Name: 'Marco'
    }
}

Note the use of PascalCase, as these are CloudFormation identifiers that are passed onward verbatim.

Build

• npm run build compile typescript to js
• npm run test perform the jest unit tests
• npm outdated find outdated npm dependencies

Testing Changes Locally

An easy way of testing new functionality is to manually package the library:

1. Change the version in package.json and run npm install
2. Run npm pack, thereby packaging the changes in a tarball
3. In the service using cdk-datadog, run npm install <path to tarball>
