How to create datadog 'change alerts' using terraform?

Question

I am trying to create a change monitor using terraform. To create a monitor that checks that overtime a count stays at 0 for example every day (the value will go up to one some times and get back to 0).

I found on the UI the capacity to create a change alert.

I cant seem to find a way to define the configuration for this type. Is terraform just supporting only a subset of the monitors? or does the query need to be change in some specific way that I cant find documentation for?.

I've stumbled upon this as well. I just figured out you have to manually create the monitor using "change alerts" then go to "manage monitors" page, open the one you just created and you'll see the query that starts with change(...). Copy the whole query to the query field in your terraform config.
