[Terraform](https://www.terraform.io/) is a popular infrastructure-as-code software tool built by HashiCorp. You use it to provision all kinds of infrastructure and services, including New Relic <InlinePopover type="dashboards"/> and alerts.
[Terraform](https://www.terraform.io/) is a popular infrastructure-as-code software tool built by HashiCorp. You use it to provision all kinds of infrastructure and services, including New Relic <InlinePopover type="dashboards"/> and alerts. In this guide you will learn how to set up New Relic <InlinePopover type="alerts"/> with Terraform, but you can review the [New Relic Terraform provider documentation](https://registry.terraform.io/providers/newrelic/newrelic/latest/docs) to learn how to set up other New Relic resources.

In this guide, you learn how to set up New Relic <InlinePopover type="alerts"/> with Terraform. More specifically, you provision an alert policy, four alert conditions, and a notification channel. The four alert conditions are based on the [four golden signals](https://landing.google.com/sre/sre-book/chapters/monitoring-distributed-systems/#xref_monitoring_golden-signals) of monitoring introduced in [Google’s Site Reliability Engineering book](https://landing.google.com/sre/sre-book/toc/index.html):
<Callout variant="tip">
Simplify your workflow by bringing the Terraform documentation right into your IDE with New Relic's CodeStream IDE extension. Add templates for any New Relic resource type with just a click.

Install CodeStream for [VS Code](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=CodeStream.codestream), [Visual Studio](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=CodeStream.codestream-vs-22) or any [JetBrains IDE](https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/12206-new-relic-codestream), and then look for the wrench icon at the top of the CodeStream pane.
