Some possible use cases for data sources

  • locations
  • runtimes
  • existing data created from dashboard (checks, envs, snippets, etc)

We'd definitely be interested in data sources being implemented. Our particular use-case is that each of our services have their own TF codebases defining the service and all associated resources. We want to include check definitions there as well. The issue arises that the check resource requires IDs rather than names, so for use of snippets, alert channels, groups that are shared across multiple services (e.g. one dev team with multiple services) we don't have the ability to easily interrogate the API for those IDs. For the time being we have a central Checkly repo that defines all the snippets, groups and alert channels and are then using the remote state data resource in the service repos to get IDs

@benfielden-onx, thanks for your feedback, it's really useful. I can't tell you when we are going to start working on this but is definitively on our radar.
