### Overview

Export a security monitoring resource to a Terraform configuration. The `resource_type` path parameter specifies the type of resource to export and must be one of `suppressions` or `critical_assets`. This endpoint requires any of the following permissions:
`security_monitoring_suppressions_read``security_monitoring_rules_read` 


OAuth apps require the `security_monitoring_rules_read` authorization [scope](https://docs.datadoghq.com/api/latest/scopes.md#security-monitoring) to access this endpoint.
