zappa-dashing

Monitor your AWS Elastic Beanstalk environment in different regions with a health dashboard.

This project consists only of a small portion of "application code" (see server.py plus static/app.js) and is made possible thanks to:

zappa.io deploy AWS Lambda function in only a matter of seconds
mini-dashing JavaScript version of dashing resp. smashing

To get an better idea on what you can expect, here is an example screenshot:

Note: Since AWS Lambda does not support Python 3 yet, we have to use Python 2(.7) when working with the Flask app resp. deploying it with the help of zappa.

Initial Setup

To setup your local machine you need to execute once:

$ virtualenv-2 venv
$ source venv/bin/activate
$ pip install -r requirements.txt

To allow the zappa role accessing AWS health information, please ensure that you attached the IAM role ZappaLambdaExecution the policy AWSElasticBeanstalkEnhancedHealth.

Customize to your needs

Copy settings-sample.py to settings.py and modify as required to your environment, same for static/settings-sample.js. Specifically adjust the AWS regions to your needs.

The monitor screen is defined in templates/home.html, make sure that the CSS IDs do correlate with the regions you setup in the previous settings files.

Initial Deployments

To install the dev environment on AWS Lambda with the help of zappa initially:

$ zappa deploy dev

As soon as the ZIP is packaged and uploaded, the code will be deployed as AWS Lambda function and the endpoints registered with the AWS API gateway. When finished you will receive a URL to access your function.

Development Workflow

Test on your local machine:

$ source venv/bin/activate
$ ./server.py

Open your browser and visit http://localhost:5000.

Once you are happy with the results, you might want to deploy to AWS API Gateway + Lambda with the help of:

$ zappa update dev

Further helpful commands

Show access log for the dev environment:

zappa tail dev --http

Leave virtual environment:

$ deactivate
