library4.11.0a7pypypi✓ verified 86d ago

This is an AWS CDK construct library that provides a L1 CloudFormation resource for Datadog Monitor (DATADOG::MONITORS::MONITOR). It wraps the Datadog Monitor CloudFormation resource, allowing you to define and manage Datadog monitors as part of your CDK infrastructure. The current version is 4.8.0a7 (alpha). The library is part of the cdklabs/cdk-cloudformation project, which generates CDK constructs for CloudFormation registry resources. The library is in maintenance mode and has a release cadence tied to upstream CloudFormation registry changes.

Verified usage

Verified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.

CfnMonitor

✓ from cdk_cloudformation_datadog_monitors_monitor import CfnMonitor

✗ from datadog_monitors_monitor import CfnMonitor

Wrong: Library name is hyphenated on PyPI but import uses underscores. Also, the module path includes the full prefix.

Creates a Datadog monitor using the CDK CloudFormation resource. Note: This construct requires a Datadog API key and application key to be set up via CloudFormation resource provider or environment variables.

from aws_cdk import App, Stack from cdk_cloudformation_datadog_monitors_monitor import CfnMonitor app = App() stack = Stack(app, "MyStack") CfnMonitor(stack, "MyDatadogMonitor", type="metric alert", query="avg(last_5m):avg:system.cpu.user{*} > 80", message="High CPU usage", name="High CPU Alert", options={ "notify_no_data": True, "no_data_timeframe": 10, "thresholds": { "critical": 80.0 } }, tags=["env:production"] ) app.synth()

Debug

Known issues

breakingCfnMonitor is a L1 construct - it directly maps to the CloudFormation resource schema. Properties may change with schema updates, breaking your stack if you rely on internal implementation details.

fix

Always check the CloudFormation resource documentation for the latest property types. Pin your library version and test schema changes.

affects: >=1.0.0

deprecatedThis library is in maintenance mode. The cdklabs/cdk-cloudformation project is no longer actively maintained. New features and bug fixes may not be provided.

fix

Consider migrating to a dedicated Datadog CDK construct (e.g., datadog-cdk-constructs) or using the CloudFormation resource directly.

affects: >=4.0.0

gotchaThe library uses underscores in Python package names (cdk_cloudformation_datadog_monitors_monitor), but the PyPI package name uses hyphens. This mismatch often causes import errors.

fix

Install with pip using hyphens, but import using underscores: `from cdk_cloudformation_datadog_monitors_monitor import CfnMonitor`.

affects: all

gotchaThe resource requires a CloudFormation resource provider to be registered in your AWS account. Without the Datadog resource provider, the CloudFormation stack will fail.

fix

Register the Datadog resource provider in your AWS account by following the Datadog CloudFormation integration guide. You may need to use a custom resource provider or the Datadog AWS integration.

Errors

Common errors & fixes

ImportError: cannot import name 'CfnMonitor' from 'cdk_cloudformation_datadog_monitors_monitor'

Misspelled module name or missing installation of the correct package.

fix

Install the package: `pip install cdk-cloudformation-datadog-monitors-monitor==4.8.0a7`. Ensure the import is `from cdk_cloudformation_datadog_monitors_monitor import CfnMonitor`.

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'cdk_cloudformation_datadog_monitors_monitor'

Package not installed or installed with a different version.

fix

Install the package: `pip install cdk-cloudformation-datadog-monitors-monitor==4.8.0a7`.

Resource of type 'DATADOG::MONITORS::MONITOR' does not exist in the CloudFormation registry

The Datadog CloudFormation resource provider is not registered in your AWS account.

fix

Register the Datadog resource provider using the AWS CloudFormation registry or the Datadog integration.
