Terraform state viewer

Terraform lens

Terraform lens is a CLI tool that enables developers have a summarized view of tfstate resources.

Description

It will produce a table with the resources in a given terraform tfstate with the following columns:

• provider
• type
• mode
• name
• module

Example:

provider	type	mode	name	module
provider.aws	aws_caller_identity	data	current_user	test
provider.aws	aws_dynamodb_table	managed	dynamodb-terraform-state-lock	(None)

Features

Currently, the tool supports read the tfstate file from a local file or a remote state stored in S3.

Regarding the produced output, there are three possibilities:

• CLI output. This will show the table directly in the terminal.
• Markdown file. This will creates a file .tflens/terraform.tfstate.json.md in the current directory with the table.
• HTML file. It's also possible to create an html file .tflens/terraform.tfstate.json.html in the current directory with the table.

The tool has been tested with tfstate files for the following terraform versions:

• 0.12.0 - 0.12.29
• 0.13.0 - 0.13.4
