Feature Request: New CRD for DatadogWidget #2425
Description
Related to issue #2423
Problem
Even when the DatadogDashboard is able to use native yaml syntax instead of JSON string, a DatadogDashboard resource can balloon to hundreds or thousands of lines. This makes is hard to maintain.
Proposal
I propose a new CRD called DatadogWidget. This resource would look like the following:
apiVersion: datadoghq.com/v1alpha1
kind: DatadogWidget
metadata:
name: example-widget
namespace: monitoring
spec:
definition:
title: Pod Count
type: query_value
requests:
- response_format: scalar
queries:
- data_source: metrics
name: query1
query: sum:kubernetes.pods.running{cluster_name:example-cluster,service:$app.value,env:$env.value}
aggregator: last
precision: 0This resource would define 1 (and only one widget). Then this widget could be referenced in the DatadogDashboard resource.
widgetsRef:
- name: example-widget
namespace: monitoring
layout:
x: 0
y: 0
width: 2
height: 2This approach also allows widgets to be reusable across different dashboards. Users would still be able to use widgets together with widgetsRef
