Welcome to the AWS Observability Accelerator for Terraform!
The AWS Observability Accelerator for Terraform is a set of opinionated modules to help you set up observability for your AWS environments with AWS-managed observability services such as Amazon Managed Service for Prometheus, Amazon Managed Grafana and AWS Distro for OpenTelemetry (ADOT).
We provide curated metrics, traces collection, alerting rules and Grafana dashboards for your EKS infrastructure, Java/JMX, NGINX based workloads and custom applications.
You also can monitor your Amazon Managed Service for Prometheus workspaces ingestion, costs, active series with this module.
To explore the complete project documentation, please visit our documentation site.
To quickstart with a complete workflow and view Amazon EKS infrastructure dashboards, visit the Amazon EKS cluster monitoring documentation
The sections below demonstrate how you can leverage AWS Observability Accelerator to enable monitoring to an existing EKS cluster.
v2+ releases introduces couple of breaking changes compared to previous versions:
modules/workloads/inframodule moves tomodules/eks-monitoring- All EKS configuration options moves from the base module to the
eks-monitoringmodule - All EKS workload modules
modules/workloads/{java,nginx}merge intoeks-monitoringas configuration options (patterns), see examples to provide a more complete visiblity - All examples have been updated to reflect these changes
The base module allows you to configure the AWS Observability services for your cluster and the AWS Distro for OpenTelemetry (ADOT) Operator as the signals collection mechanism.
This is the minimum configuration to have a new Amazon Managed Service for Prometheus Workspace and ADOT Operator deployed for you and ready to receive your data. The base module serve as an anchor to the workload modules and cannot run on its own.
module "aws_observability_accelerator" {
# use release tags and check for the latest versions
# https://github.com/aws-observability/terraform-aws-observability-accelerator/releases
source = "github.com/aws-observability/terraform-aws-observability-accelerator?ref=v1.6.1"
aws_region = "eu-west-1"
eks_cluster_id = "my-eks-cluster"
# As Grafana shares a different lifecycle, we recommend using an existing workspace.
managed_grafana_workspace_id = var.managed_grafana_workspace_id
grafana_api_key = var.grafana_api_key
}You can optionally reuse an existing Amazon Managed Servce for Prometheus Workspace:
module "aws_observability_accelerator" {
# use release tags and check for the latest versions
# https://github.com/aws-observability/terraform-aws-observability-accelerator/releases
source = "github.com/aws-observability/terraform-aws-observability-accelerator?ref=v1.6.1"
aws_region = "eu-west-1"
eks_cluster_id = "my-eks-cluster"
# prevents creation of a new Amazon Managed Prometheus workspace
enable_managed_prometheus = false
# reusing existing Amazon Managed Prometheus Workspace
managed_prometheus_workspace_id = "ws-abcd123..."
managed_grafana_workspace_id = "g-abcdef123"
grafana_api_key = var.grafana_api_key
}View all the configuration options in the module documentation below.
Workloads modules are provided, which essentially provide curated metrics collection, alerting rule and Grafana dashboards.
module "workloads_infra" {
source = "aws-observability/terraform-aws-observability-accelerator/workloads/infra"
eks_cluster_id = module.eks_observability_accelerator.eks_cluster_id
dashboards_folder_id = module.eks_observability_accelerator.grafana_dashboards_folder_id
managed_prometheus_workspace_id = module.eks_observability_accelerator.managed_prometheus_workspace_id
managed_prometheus_workspace_endpoint = module.eks_observability_accelerator.managed_prometheus_workspace_endpoint
managed_prometheus_workspace_region = module.eks_observability_accelerator.managed_prometheus_workspace_region
}Grafana Dashboards

Kubernetes is a powerful and extensible container orchestration technology that allows you to deploy and manage containerized applications at scale. The extensible nature of Kubernetes also allows you to use a wide range of popular open-source tools, commonly referred to as add-ons, in Kubernetes clusters. With such a large number of tools and design choices available, building a tailored EKS cluster that meets your application’s specific needs can take a significant amount of time. It involves integrating a wide range of open-source tools and AWS services and requires deep expertise in AWS and Kubernetes.
AWS customers have asked for examples that demonstrate how to integrate the landscape of Kubernetes tools and make it easy for them to provision complete, opinionated EKS clusters that meet specific application requirements. Customers can use AWS Observability Accelerator to configure and deploy purpose built EKS clusters, and start onboarding workloads in days, rather than months.
AWS Observability Accelerator for Terraform is maintained by AWS Solution Architects. It is not part of an AWS service and support is provided best-effort by the AWS Observability Accelerator community.
