C2_W3_Lab_2_CloudWatch - Terraform Apply Keeps Crashing

Course Q&A Data Engineering Source Systems, Data Ingestion, and Pipelines

Hi,

I was at 4 - CloudWatch Logs and Metrics when a dialog box popped up saying I get disconnected. Reconnecting option did not work, so I chose the reload window option. After that, I get “The terminal process “/usr/bin/bash” terminated with exit code: 1.” every time I ran “terraform apply”. Can anyone help?

Thanks.

Hello @simply.me

This issue is because you used terraform apply when the lab server was rebooted without destroying terraform before. You could run terraform apply -no-color 2> errors.txt to see what errors cause the terminal to crash. Also you might need to run source scripts/setup.sh from part 2 to continue. Thank you

Hi Georgios:

Hope you are well. I am having the same issue for the whole night repeatedly rebooting this AWS CloudWatch lab and following the first sections until “terraform apply”. The terminal has always crashed and exited automatically. I followed your suggestion to @simply.me, and the errors.txt says “no configuration file”. I also ran “source scripts/setup.sh” but still no success. Can you please look into my lab section and refresh my lab, maybe to see if that resets the lab and allows me to start again? Please also advise if any better action item.

Thank you!,
Susie Bai

Hello @susie_bx,

Could you try in a new lab session and fill this form for a lab refresh if it continues. It should take 2 business days so you will need to wait a bit longer. Thank you

Hi Georgios: Thank you very much for your reply! I retried today and was able to do it.

Best regards,

Hi Georgios,

I’m encountering the same issue as others in this thread. After numerous attempts to resolve it on my own, running the command
terraform apply -no-color 2> errors.txt now consistently causes the terminal to crash.

Would it be possible to reset or delete my existing Terraform resources? I’ve already completed the form you shared earlier.

Thanks in advance for your help,
George

Hello @George_Salgueiro,

Thanks for submitting the form, after a few hours a new lab session should clear those resources. Make sure to uncomment the right blocks afterwards so terraform apply could complete according to the instructions. If it continues you could wait for a lab refresh, note it takes 2 business days to complete. Thank you

Hi Georgios,

I encountered the same issue here, and submitted the form you mentioned above, and plan to wait for 2 days to retry the lab.

I’m not sure if I selected the correct issue or not. This issue is technically not one of the options in the form, and it seems like I have to select one from the list of options.

Thank you so much for the help.

Best,
Lu

@ly1015 You can select any option as long as you provide the details of the course/lab, an email to be notified and lab id. Note it takes two business days to complete since it’s a manual process performed by the engineers (as you can see we have no feedback from previous learners). Hope it helps
