This tool can be used to send Service Health Dashboard (SHD) postings to Chime, Slack or an SNS topic. A notification for each update to the SHD event will be sent, as well as an optional "no update" message for ongoing events. It uses a polling approach as SHD postings do not trigger Health Events at this time. Step Functions are used to track each event and send notification updates while the issue is not resolved, including optional "no update since last message" notifications.
- If using SNS, create and configure the SNS topic(s) before deploying the CloudFormation stack.
- If using Chime or Slack, follow the documentation for creating and determining the endpoint string(s).
Choose Launch Stack to launch the template in the US East (N. Virginia) Region in your account:
The CloudFormation template requires the following parameters:
-
AppName - The base name for the underlying lambda functions
-
ChatClient - Which Client should be used for notifications. Only one client is supported per deployment. Options are:
- chime
- slack
- sns
-
EndpointArray - An array of one or more endpoint strings for the client notifications. Examples for each client:
- chime: ["https://hooks.chime.aws/incomingwebhooks/XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXXX?token=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"]
- slack: ["https://hooks.slack.com/services/T00000000/B00000000/XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"]
- sns: ["arn:aws:sns:us-east-1:XXXXXXXXXXXX:SNS_Topic_Name"]
-
Bail - Disable sending of messages when there is no update. Allowed values:
- 0 (Send "no update" messages every 15 minutes)
- 1 (Send messages only when a new update has been made)
-
LambdaRate - The frequency to check for new SHD postings or updates. Allowed values:
- rate(1 minute)
- rate(5 minutes)
- rate(10 minutes)
-
MessagePrefix - A prefix for each update message. Examples include:
- [SHD AUTO]
- This is an automated notification from the AWS Service Health Dashboard. Current status can always be found at http://status.aws.amazon.com
-
RegionFilter - An optional array of region strings to limit notifications of SHD postings to only regions of interest . Examples include:
- ["us-west-2","us-east-1","global"]
- ["global"]
-
DEBUG - Control debug log level and messages. Allowed values:
- 0 (Disable Debugging)
- 1 (Enable debugging)
Due to the CloudFormation limit on inline Lambda functions, after the CloudFormation stack has completed successfully, the deploy.sh script will need to be run to update the code for the Lambda functions.
Syntax: deploy.sh <CF_APPNAME> <REGION>
- CF_APPNAME = The AppName defined when deploying the CloudFormation template
- REGION = The region of the deployed CloudFormation template
