Sumologic Provider

This provider is used to manage collectors and sources supported by Sumologic. The provider needs to be configured with the proper credentials before it can be used.

Example Usage

# Configure the Sumologic Provider
provider "sumologic" {
    access_id   = "${var.sumologic_access_id}"
    access_key  = "${var.sumologic_access_key}"
    environment = "eu"
}

# Create a collector
resource "sumologic_collector" "collector" {
    name = "MyCollector"
}

# Create a HTTP source
resource "sumologic_http_source" "http_source" {
    name         = "http-source"
    category     = "my/source/category"
    collector_id = "${sumologic_collector.collector.id}"
}

Authentication

The Sumologic Provider offers a flexible means of providing credentials for authentication. The following methods are supported and explained below:

• Static credentials

Static credentials

Static credentials can be provided by adding an access_id and access_key in-line in the Sumologic provider block:

    environment = "eu"
    access_id   = "your-access-id"
    access_key  = "your-access-key"
}

Environment variables

You can provide your credentials via the SL_ACCESSID and SL_ACCESSKEY environment variables, representing your Sumologic Access ID and Sumologic Access Key, respectively.

provider "sumologic" { }

$ export SL_ACCESSID="your-access-id"
$ export SL_ACCESSKEY="your-access-id"
$ terraform plan
