Terraform: Add Papertrail provider

[ejholmes]

If I get some time I might implement this. It would be great to be able to add Papertrail systems and be able to add them as drains on a heroku app.

Agreed, it would be good to see a Papertrail provider, generally. That way people outside of Heroku can utilize it too.

However, the Heroku provider supports addons, so you can do this now:

resource "heroku_app" "foobar" {
    name = "terraform-test-app"

    config_vars {
        foo = "bar"
    }
}

resource "heroku_addon" "foobar" {
    app = "${heroku_app.foobar.name}"
    plan = "papertrail:choklad"
}

output "url" {
    value = "${heroku_addon.foobar.config_vars.0}=${heroku_app.foobar.config_vars.0.PAPERTRAIL_API_TOKEN}"
}

Then, on subsequent apply. (Won't be on the first one, see #99)

$ terraform apply
heroku_app.foobar: Refreshing state... (ID: terraform-test-app)
heroku_addon.foobar: Refreshing state... (ID: b4e40050-1d26-4e6d-8c08-910b968e7c62)

Apply complete! Resources: 0 added, 0 changed, 0 destroyed.

Outputs:

  url = PAPERTRAIL_API_TOKEN=w8jeiQ8RAw0bLlfasdfasf

Just though that was super cool and mention it. Not 100% smooth at the moment but shows some of the power of Terraform!

Oh, if it wasn't obvious, I was trying to demonstrate how you could provision a papertrail addon for use _outside_ of Heroku. Kind of cool. :smile:

Thanks for the CC, @ejholmes. I've bumped the internal issue we have open to provide a log destination API to create ports for Heroku apps. Will follow up here and/or in the ticket raised a while back if anything happens.

[josephholsten]

@ejholmes did you ever get a spike of this started?

[ejholmes]

Nope. Not using papertrail or terraform atm :)

[phinze]

We'd welcome any PRs w/ Papertrail support, but we don't have any plans as a core team to work on the feature, so closing this for now.

[sjauld]

This would be so good. @mubeta06 can you build?

@phinze I have worked on this, Here is the first implementation https://github.com/oogway/terraform-provider-papertrail
