Terraform module /modules/yc-splunk-trail:

Creates static keys for the SA to work with JSON objects in a bucket and encrypt/decrypt secrets.
Creates a COI VM with a Docker Container specification using a script.
Creates an SSH key pair and saves the private part to the disk and the public part to the VM.
Creates a KMS key.
Assigns the kms.keys.encrypterDecrypter rights to the key for SA to encrypt secrets.
Encrypts secrets and passes them to Docker Container.

Example of calling a module:

module "yc-splunk-trail" {
    source = "../modules/yc-splunk-trail/" #path to module yc-elastic-trail
    
    folder_id = var.folder_id
    splunk_token = var.splunk_token // Run the command export TF_VAR_splunk_token=<SPLUNK TOKEN> (replace <SPLUNK TOKEN> with your value)
    splunk_server = "https://1.2.3.4" // format: https://<your hostname or address>
    bucket_name = yandex_storage_bucket.trail-bucket.bucket // Specify the name of the bucket with audit trails if the call is not from example
    bucket_folder = "folder" // Specified when creating Trails
    sa_id = yandex_iam_service_account.sa-bucket-editor.id // Specify an SA with bucket_editor rights if the call is not from example
    coi_subnet_id = yandex_vpc_subnet.splunk-subnet[0].id // Specify the subnet_id if the call is not from example
}
