# ionoscloud\_monitoring\_pipeline

The **Monitoring pipeline** datasource can be used to search for and return an existing Monitoring pipeline. If a single match is found, it will be returned. If your search results in multiple matches, an error will be returned.

> ⚠️ Only tokens are accepted for authorization in the **monitoring\_pipeline** data source. Please ensure you are using tokens as other methods will not be valid.

## Example Usage

### By ID

```hcl
data "ionoscloud_monitoring_pipeline" "example" {
  location = "de/txl"
  id = "pipeline_id"
}
```

### By name

```hcl
data "ionoscloud_monitoring_pipeline" "example" {
  location = "de/txl"
  name = "pipeline_name"
}
```

## Argument reference

* `location` - (Optional)\[string] The location of the Monitoring pipeline. Default is `de/fra`. It can be one of `de/fra`, `de/txl`, `gb/lhr`, `es/vit`, `fr/par`. If this is not set and if no value is provided for the `IONOS_API_URL` env var, the default `location` will be: `de/fra`.
* `id` - (Optional)\[string] The ID of the Monitoring pipeline you want to search for.
* `name` - (Optional)\[string] The name of the Monitoring pipeline you want to search for.
