Have log-based metric as code (terraform)

[cirocosta]

Hey,

The dashboards that display error metrics (web and worker) are based on the log messages that get ingested and processed by Stackdriver:

https://github.com/concourse/hush-house/blob/a3f7662a65cc32ea0de47e31851e577564455a4a/deployments/with-creds/metrics/dashboards/concourse/concourse.json#L620-L622

While that has served us well, having that not described as code makes it very easy to break, and hard to keep track of.

It turns out that we can leverage Terraform to describe such metrics:

https://www.terraform.io/docs/providers/google/r/logging_metric.html

The goal here is to port those that we already have:

Thanks!

@cirocosta basically, we also design the same dashboard. Somehow I am missing the information w.r.t creating the log metrics in the GCP stack driver. Can you help me out if you have terraform code for this, where I can find this or if it was done manually, can give short document so that i can try out ? https://metrics-hush-house.concourse-ci.org/d/1mUBdWWWk/stackdriver?orgId=1&refresh=1m
