# CLOUD AWS ELB DataDog monitors
## How to use this module
```hcl
module "datadog-monitors-cloud-aws-elb" {
source = "claranet/monitors/datadog//cloud/aws/elb"
version = "{revision}"
environment = var.environment
message = module.datadog-message-alerting.alerting-message
}
```
## Purpose
Creates DataDog monitors with the following checks:
- ELB 4xx errors too high
- ELB 5xx errors too high
- ELB backend 4xx errors too high
- ELB backend 5xx errors too high
- ELB healthy instances
- ELB latency too high
