Terraform module which streamlines collection from multiple sources within AWS

Primary LanguageHCLOtherNOASSERTION

Observe AWS Collection

This module assembles different methods of collecting data from AWS into Observe. It is intended as both a starting point and as a reference.

The module sets up the following forwarding methods:

  • the Observe lambda
  • an S3 bucket, subscribed to the aforementioned Lambda
  • a Firehose stream

Given these egresses, we extract data from the following sources:

  • Cloudwatch Metrics, via Firehose
  • CloudTrail, via S3
  • EventBridge, via Firehose
  • AWS snapshot data, via Lambda

Usage

The following snippet installs the Observe AWS collection stack to a single region:

module "observe_collection" {
  source           = "github.com/observeinc/terraform-aws-collection"
  observe_customer = ""
  observe_token    = ""
}

Common Options

The snippet below installs the Observe AWS collection stack so that all supported CloudWatch Logs, CloudWatch metrics, CloudTrail records, and AWS resource updates are collected, except for some excluded items:

module "observe_collection" {
  source           = "github.com/observeinc/terraform-aws-collection"
  observe_customer = ""
  observe_token    = ""
  
  subscribed_log_group_matches = [".*"]
  subscribed_log_group_excludes = ["/aws/elasticbeanstalk/my-app.*"]
  snapshot_exclude = ["kms:Describe*"]
  cloudwatch_metrics_exclude_filters = ["AWS/KMS"]
}
