Importing multiple digitalocean droplets

[Martin Cleaver]

Hi,

I note: https://www.terraform.io/docs/providers/do/r/droplet.html says:

Import

Droplets can be imported using the droplet id, e.g.

terraform import digitalocean_droplet.mydroplet 100823

My existing set up has 5 nodes. 

How do I import multiple nodes?

Do I do multiple `import` commands? That results in:

* Can't import digitalocean_droplet.mydroplet, would collide with an existing resource.

 

I assume this digitalocean_droplet.mydroplet reference is a reference to the class of the resource I'm pulling in rather than the identity of the node

The resulting .tfstate document includes:

    "modules": [

        {

            "path": [

                "root"

            ],

            "outputs": {},

            "resources": {

                "digitalocean_droplet.mydroplet": {

                    "type": "digitalocean_droplet",

                    "depends_on": [],

                    "primary": {

                        "id": "9553791",

                        "attributes": {

Or am I supposed to import, and then rename the resource by editing the tfstate file and then edit the subsequent ones?

I tried alternate syntaxes such as multiple IDs on the line... to not avail.

Thanks,

   Martin.

Ok. Solved it on IRC, thanks to cornfeedhobo

The solution is:

The thing I missed was that digitalocean_droplet.mydroplet comprises a class "digitalocean_droplet" and an address "mydroplet"

So solution is:

terraform import digitalocean_droplet.droplet1 100823

terraform import digitalocean_droplet.droplet1 100824

Or rather:

terraform import digitalocean_droplet.droplet1 100121
terraform import digitalocean_droplet.droplet2 100824
