Hubot script to manage your AWS environment in a visually appealing and functional way.
This plugin can be used to interact with AWS and had some enhancements compared to other aws scripts that are available.
This is very much a work in progress and has bugs. Please feel free to report any here on GitHub and Pull Requests are more than welcome.
These plugins only work with Rocket.Chat and Slack at the moment. It may very well work with other chat systems, but these are the only two that I have tested for consistant functionality.
The filter when listing instances is case sensitve.
The following environment variables must be set before this pacakge will start working. (In addition to any that need to be set for the particular adapter that you are using)
| Environment Variable | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
| HUBOT_AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID | AWS Access Key | AKIAJXXXXXXSSSSQYZKQ |
| HUBOT_AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY | AWS Secret Access Key | tSEz9uvDXXXXXXXqO5yXXFGmXXnXXGXXZRj8XXXX |
| HUBOT_AWS_REGION | Main AWS Region you will be interacting with. | ap-southeast-2 |
| HUBOT_AWS_S3_BUCKET | Bucket Short-Name used at the moment only to store screenshots retrieved with the Console Screenshot script. | my-bucket/console-screenshots |
| HUBOT_AWS_S3_URL | URL including folder path of where the console screenshots will be stored. This is used to build the URL where the screenshot is stored. | https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/my-bucket/console-screenshots/ |
In hubot project repo, run:
npm install hubot-aws-v2 --save
Then add hubot-aws-v2 to your external-scripts.json:
["hubot-aws-v2"]
Copy the following files into your own hubot install
aws.coffee shoukd be in the hubot root as its included by all the scripts to set the auth environment vars.
https://www.npmjs.com/package/hubot-aws-v2
See screenshots at the end to see what the output looks like.
Will return a complete listing of your EC2 Instances under the configured region.
hubot> aws ec2 ls SQL
This will filter the list by the Name tag in AWS.
So running the above will only return results where SQL is anywhere in the “Name” tag.
hubot> aws ec2 console i-077f7532a8f58cabf
Generates and captures a screenshot of the instance console. Very useful if the instance has become unreachable via SSH or RDP - the physical console often contains log messages or other clues that can be used to identify and understand what’s going on when things are not working as expected.
