Resource

The akamai_gtm_resource lets you create, configure, and import a GTM resource. In GTM, a resource is anything you can measure whose scarcity affects load balancing. Examples of resources include bandwidth, CPU load average, database queries per second, or disk operations per second.

📘

Note

Import requires an ID with this format: existing_domain_name:
existing_resource_name.

Example

resource "akamai_gtm_resource" "demo_resource" {
    domain = "demo_domain.akadns.net"
    name = "demo_resource"
    aggregation_type = "latest"
    type = "XML load object via HTTP"
}

Argument reference

This resource supports these arguments:

• domain - (Required) DNS name for the GTM Domain set that includes this property.

• name - (Required) A descriptive label for the GTM resource.

• aggregation_type - (Required) Specifies how GTM handles different load numbers when multiple load servers are used for a data center or property.

• type - (Required) Indicates the kind of load_object format used to determine the load on the resource.

• wait_on_complete - (Optional) A boolean indicating whether to wait for transaction to complete. Set to true by default.

• resource_instance - (Optional) (multiple allowed) Contains information about the resources that constrain the properties within the data center. You can have multiple resource_instance entries. Requires these arguments:

  • datacenter_id - (Optional) A unique identifier for an existing data center in the domain.
  • load_object - (Optional) Identifies the load object file used to report real-time information about the current load, maximum allowable load, and target load on each resource.
  • load_object_port - (Optional) Specifies the TCP port of the load_object.
  • load_servers - (Optional) (List) Specifies a list of servers from which to request the load object.
  • use_default_load_object - (Optional) A boolean that indicates whether a default load_object is used for the resources.

• host_header - (Optional) Optionally specifies the host header used when fetching the load object.

• least_squares_decay - (Optional) For internal use only. Unless Akamai indicates otherwise, omit the value or set it to null.

• upper_bound - (Optional) An optional sanity check that specifies the maximum allowed value for any component of the load object.

• description - (Optional) A descriptive note to help you track what the resource constrains.

• leader_string - (Optional) Specifies the text that comes before the load_object.

• constrained_property - (Optional) Specifies the name of the property that this resource constrains, enter ** to constrain all properties.

• load_imbalance_percent - (Optional) Indicates the percent of load imbalance factor (LIF) for the property.

• max_u_multiplicative_increment - (Optional) For Akamai internal use only. You can omit the value or set it to null.

• decay_rate - (Optional) For Akamai internal use only. You can omit the value or set it to null.
