# CLOUD AWS ELASTICACHE REDIS DataDog monitors

## How to use this module

```
module "datadog-monitors-cloud-aws-elasticache-redis" {
  source = "claranet/monitors/datadog//cloud/aws/elasticache/redis"
  version = "{revision}"

  environment = var.environment
  message     = module.datadog-message-alerting.alerting-message
}

```

## Purpose

Creates DataDog monitors with the following checks:

- Elasticache redis cache hit ratio
- Elasticache redis CPU
- Elasticache redis is receiving no commands
- Elasticache redis replication lag
