[Bug] elasticstack_kibana_synthetics_monitor creation results in an error when applied against a serverless project #883
Description
Describe the bug
If you create a fresh serverless project and then attempt to create a synthetics monitor (use this example verbatim), your terraform apply will return an error (even though the monitor creation will have actually succeeded):
│ Error: Failed to create Kibana monitor `foobar1`, namespace default
│
│ with elasticstack_kibana_synthetics_monitor.my_monitor123,
│ on monitors.tf line 1, in resource "elasticstack_kibana_synthetics_monitor" "my_monitor123":
│ 1: resource "elasticstack_kibana_synthetics_monitor" "my_monitor123" {
│
│ json: cannot unmarshal string into Go struct field SyntheticsMonitor.locations of type kbapi.MonitorLocationConfig
I think this is because serverless Kibana is currently returning locations in this shape:
"locations": [
"us_west"
],
Whereas hosted Elastic Cloud (8.15.3) returns the expected shape (and the apply succeeds):
"locations": [
{
"id": "us-west1-a",
"label": "North America - US West",
"geo": {
"lat": 44,
"lon": -120.5
},
"isServiceManaged": true
}
],
I assume this bug may be related to:
- fix: merge values for synthetic monitor locations #823
- [synthetics API] inconsistencies between location create / get / update kibana#194901
- [Synthetics] Format locations for public API's kibana#195295
I would like to be able to use the Terraform provider to create elasticstack_kibana_synthetics_monitors in serverless projects, but right now this is not possible.
