Redash Terraform Provider

Overview

Terraform provider for managing Redash configurations.

Quick start

Assuming git is installed:

$ git clone https://github.com/digitalpoetry/terraform-provider-redash
$ cd terraform-provider-redash
$ make test
$ make

To remove all build files:

$ make clean

To format the golang code in the source directory:

$ make format

Note: Always run format before submitting any code.

Note: The make test command also generates a code coverage file which can be found at build/coverage/coverage.html.

Installation

First download the pre-compiled binary for your platform from the release assets at the following links or generate the binaries locally using the provided make command:

https://github.com/digitalpoetry/terraform-provider-redash/releases/latest

From here you will need to move the binary into your Terraform plugins directory - depending on your platform / installation this might change but generally speaking they are located at:

• Darwin & Linux: ~/.terraform.d/plugins
• Windows: %APPDATA%\terraform.d\plugins

How to use?

Setting up the provider

# Minimal configuration
provider "redash" {
  redash_uri = "https://redash.exmaple.com"
  api_key    = "<YourPersonalAPIKeyHere>"
}

To avoid exposing your secret API key in code you can, preferrably, set it as a value of an environment variable named REDASH_API_KEY. The API key can be found on your Redash profile page.

$ export REDASH_API_KEY="<YourPersonalAPIKeyHere>"

With the provider configured, we can now use data sources and manage resources.

Users

data "redash_user" "rrunner" {
  id = 1
}

resource "redash_user" "wcoyote" {
  name   = "Wile E. Coyote"
  email  = "wcoyote@acme.com"
  groups = [32, 1]
}

Groups

data "redash_group" "geniuses" {
  id = 35
}

resource "redash_group" "runners" {
  name = "Beep Beep"
}

Data Sources

Please note that the list of required/accepted options varies wildly by type. This is entirely dependent on the Redash installation that you are connecting to. For a detailed list of types and options, you can GET from the /api/data_sources/types endpoint on your Redash instance.

data "redash_data_source" "acme_corp" {
  id = 123
}

resource "redash_data_source" "acme_corp" {
  name = "ACME Corporation Product Database"
  type = "redshift"

  options {
    host     = "newproducts.acme.com"
    port     = 5439
    dbname   = "products"
    user     = "wcoyote"
    password = "eth3LbeRt"
  }
}

resource "redash_group_data_source_attachment" "wcoyote_acme" {
  group_id       = redash_group.geniuses.id
  data_source_id = redash_data_source.acme_corp.id
}

Queries

data "redash_query" "my_query" {
  id = 1
}

resource "redash_query" "my_query" {
  name           = "My Query"
  data_source_id = redash_data_source.acme_corp.id
  query          = "SELECT 1 + 1"
  description    = "A query like no other"
}

Dashboards

data "redash_dashboard" "existing_dashboard" {
  slug = "my-dashboard"
}

resource "redash_dashboard" "my_dashboard" {
  name = "My dashboard"
}

Visualizations

data "redash_visualization" "this" {
  query_id         = 1
  visualization_id = 7
}

resource "redash_visualization" "table" {
  query_id = 1
  name     = "Results table"
  type     = "TABLE"
}

Widgets

data "redash_widget" "this" {
  id             = 27
  dashboard_slug = "service-slos"
}

resource "redash_widget" "text_widget" {
  dashboard_slug = redash_dashboard.this.slug
  text           = "Welcome to my dashboard"
}

resource "redash_widget" "visualization_widget" {
  dashboard_slug   = redash_dashboard.this.slug
  visualization_id = 1
}

Publishing

This is handled through CI/CD on Github Actions. However all binaries will be generated by using the make command for local publishing.
