AWS MongoDB Service DataDog monitors

How to use this module

Add a user to MongoDB (on the primary instance) :

use admin
db.auth("admin", "admin-password") ## This is optional is you don't have any admin password
db.createUser({"user":"datadog", "pwd": "{{PASSWORD}}", "roles" : [ {role: 'read', db: 'admin' }, {role: 'clusterMonitor', db: 'admin'}, {role: 'read', db: 'local' }]})

Add a module in your Terraform project :

module "datadog-monitors-aws-mongodb" {
  source = "git::ssh://git@bitbucket.org/morea/terraform.feature.datadog.git//databases/mongodb?ref={revision}"

  message     = "${module.datadog-message-alerting.alerting-message}"
  environment = "${var.environment}"

}

Configure your Datadog agent for kubernetes with this config :

datadog:
  confd:
    mongo.yaml: |-
      ad_identifiers:
        - mongodb
      init_config:
      instances:
        - server: mongodb://datadog:password@%%host%%/admin
          tags:
            - dd_monitoring:enabled
            - dd_mongodb:enabled
            - env:prod

Purpose

Creates a DataDog monitors with the following checks :

MongoDB Primary status
MongoDB Secondaries status
MongoDB replication lag

Monitor MongoDB Primary

Name: [environment] MongoDB Primary

This monitor will check the health of the Primary node

This monitor will trigger an alert if there's no primary or if the primary state is wrong.

Monitor MongoDB Secondary

Name: [environment] MongoDB Secondary

This monitor will check the health for secondaries nodes

This monitor will trigger an alert if a secondary is missing or if there's a wrong state

Monitor MongoDB Replication lag

Name: [environment] MongoDB Replication lag

This monitor will check the replication lag

This monitor will trigger an alert if the replication high is too high
