ddog

A DataDog CLI, focused on enabling IaC

Overview

This program is a CLI for DataDog, focused on enabling IaC.

Features

Initial features will include:

save and restore monitors to local JSON files
emit terraform compliant with the DataDog provider to maintain monitors
emit customizable terraform (almost certainly by golang template) to abstract monitors into terraform modules
emit terraform import statements so that the above generated terraform can "take over" management of existing monitors
