cid-dashboards

CID Terraform Module: cid-dashboards

Terraform module to deploy CID dashboards. This module is a wrapper around CloudFormation to allow you to deploy CID dashboards using your existing Terraform workflows. Under the hood, the module will deploy a CloudFormation stack which will provision the necessary resources and a custom Lambda function to create the dashboards using cid-cmd.

Before You Start

• Existing S3 bucket to upload the CloudFormation template
• Complete prerequisites in Before You Start including CUR and Quicksight setup

Example Usage

module "cid_dashboards" {
    source = "github.com/aws-samples/aws-cudos-framework-deployment//terraform-modules/cid-dashboards"

    stack_name      = "Cloud-Intelligence-Dashboards"
    template_bucket = "UPDATEME"
  
    stack_parameters = {
      "PrerequisitesQuickSight"            = "yes"
      "PrerequisitesQuickSightPermissions" = "yes"
      "QuickSightUser"                     = "UPDATEME"
      "DeployCUDOSDashboard"               = "yes"
      "DeployCostIntelligenceDashboard"    = "yes"
      "DeployKPIDashboard"                 = "yes"
    }
}

Version Locking

For production deployments, you should lock the version of this module to a release tag to better control when and what updates are made. To specify the release tag to use, append ?ref=VERSION to the module source. For example, the following source reference will use the Terraform module and Cloudformation template from version 0.2.13 of this module:

source = "github.com/aws-samples/aws-cudos-framework-deployment//terraform-modules/cid-dashboards?ref=0.2.13"

For a complete list of release tags, visit https://github.com/aws-samples/aws-cudos-framework-deployment/tags.

Troubleshooting

Because this module is primarily a wrapper for CloudFormation, Terraform output may not be sufficient for debugging if deployment fails. For additional troubleshooting information, refer to the CloudFormation console for details on stack operation, resources, and error output. Additionally, you can refer to logs for the custom resource Lambda function "CidCustomDashboardResource"if dashboards fail to deploy.

Requirements

The following requirements are needed by this module:

• terraform (>= 1.0)

• aws (>= 3.0)

Resources

The following resources are used by this module:

• aws_cloudformation_stack.cid (resource)
• aws_s3_object.template (resource)
• aws_s3_bucket.template_bucket (data source)

Required Inputs

The following input variables are required:

stack_name

Description: CloudFormation stack name for Cloud Intelligence Dashboards deployment

Type: string

stack_parameters

Description: CloudFormation stack parameters. For the full list of available parameters, refer to
https://github.com/aws-samples/aws-cudos-framework-deployment/blob/main/cfn-templates/cid-cfn.yml.
For most setups, you will want to set the following parameters:

• PrerequisitesQuickSight: yes/no
• PrerequisitesQuickSightPermissions: yes/no
• QuickSightUser: Existing quicksight user
• QuickSightDataSetRefreshSchedule: Cron expression to refresh spice datasets daily outside of business hours. Default is 4 AM UTC, which should work for most customers in US and EU time zones
• CURBucketPath: Leave as default is if CUR was created with CloudFormation (cur-aggregation.yaml). If it was a manually created CUR, the path entered below must be for the directory that contains the years partition (s3://curbucketname/prefix/curname/curname/).
• OptimizationDataCollectionBucketPath: The S3 path to the bucket created by the Cost Optimization Data Collection Lab. The path will need point to a folder containing /optics-data-collector folder. Required for TAO and Compute Optimizer dashboards.
• DataBuketsKmsKeyArns: Comma-delimited list of KMS key ARNs ("*" is also valid). Include any KMS keys used to encrypt your CUR or Cost Optimization Data S3 data
• DeployCUDOSDashboard: (yes/no, default no)
• DeployCostIntelligenceDashboard: (yes/no, default no)
• DeployKPIDashboard: (yes/no, default no)
• DeployTAODashboard: (yes/no, default no)
• DeployComputeOptimizerDashboard: (yes/no, default no)

Type: map(string)

template_bucket

Description: S3 bucket where the Cloudformation template will be uploaded. Must already exist and be in the same region as the stack.

Type: string

Optional Inputs

The following input variables are optional (have default values):

stack_iam_role

Description: The ARN of an IAM role that AWS CloudFormation assumes to create the stack (default behavior is to use the previous role if available, or current user permissions otherwise).

Type: string

Default: null

stack_notification_arns

Description: A list of SNS topic ARNs to publish stack related events.

Type: list(string)

Default: []

stack_policy_body

Description: String containing the stack policy body. Conflicts with stack_policy_url.

Type: string

Default: null

stack_policy_url

Description: Location of a file containing the stack policy body. Conflicts with stack_policy_body.

Type: string

Default: null

stack_tags

Description: Tag key-value pairs to apply to the stack

Type: map(string)

Default: null

template_key

Description: Name of the S3 path/key where the Cloudformation template will be created. Defaults to cid-cfn.yml

Type: string

Default: "cid-cfn.yml"

Outputs

The following outputs are exported:

stack_outputs

Description: CloudFormation stack outputs (map of strings)
