Hi Deema,

Yes, you can absolutely do this! While there is no native integration between DataMiner and Terraform, the standard and most effective way I think to handle this is indeed through a DataMiner Automation Script.

Here is how you can set it up:

1. The Core: DataMiner Automation Script

You can use a C# Automation Script to directly trigger your Terraform CLI:

• In Visual Studio, create a new project using the standard DataMiner Automation Script template.

• Inside the script, you can use something like System.Diagnostics.Process to run the Terraform CLI on your host system (passing commands like terraform apply or destroy along with any dynamic variables) based on DataMiner alarms, actions, or schedules (via correlation rules in DataMiner).

2. The Reverse: User-Defined API (UDAPI)

If you also need Terraform to talk back to DataMiner (for example, to notify DataMiner when a deployment is complete or to report a state change):

• You can create a User-Defined API (UDAPI) to act as an incoming gateway. You can follow the official DataMiner UDAPI Tutorial here to set up your endpoint:

  https://docs.dataminer.services/dataminer/Functions/User-Defined_APIs/Tutorial/UD_APIs_Tutorials.html

• From the Terraform side, you can then use Terraform's HTTP provider to call your newly published UDAPI endpoint and send data back to DataMiner.

This gives you a highly flexible, two-way workflow!

If this helped, please mark the question as solved 🙂

Kind regards,
