aws-sns-webex-teams-terraform

This is a Terraform module which maps an AWS SNS topic name to a Webex Teams channel. The AWS Lambda function code it uses is derived from robbwagoner/aws-lambda-sns-to-webex-teams and the terraform code is shameslly stolen / ported from builtinnya/aws-sns-slack-terraform.

The supported features are:

• Posting AWS SNS notifications to Webex Teams channels
• Building necessary AWS resources by Terraform automatically
• Customizable topic-to-channel map

Usage

aws-sns-webex-teams-terraform is a Terraform module. You just need to include the module in one of your Terraform scripts and set up SNS topics and permissions. See examples/ for concrete examples.

module "sns_to_webex_teams" {
  source = "github.com/builtinnya/aws-sns-webex-teams-terraform/module"

  webex_teams_bearer_token = "abc123"
  webex_teams_channel_map = "{\"production-notices\": \"Y2lzY29zcGFyazovL3VzL1JPT00vMDA2ZjYzNzAtMWJlOS0xMWU4LTljNTUtOTMzZmEzYWJkNjYy\"}"
  # The following variables are optional.
  lambda_function_name = "sns-to-webex-teams"

}

resource "aws_sns_topic" "testing_webex_teams_alarms" {
  name = "testingWebexTeams-notices"
}

resource "aws_lambda_permission" "allow_lambda_sns_to_webex_teams" {
  statement_id = "AllowSNSToWebexTeamsExecutionFromSNS"
  action = "lambda:invokeFunction"
  function_name = "${module.sns_to_webex_teams.lambda_function_arn}"
  principal = "sns.amazonaws.com"
  source_arn = "${aws_sns_topic.testing_webex_teams_alarms.arn}"
}

resource "aws_sns_topic_subscription" "lambda_sns_to_webex_teams" {
  topic_arn = "${aws_sns_topic.testing_webex_teams_alarms.arn}"
  protocol = "lambda"
  endpoint = "${module.sns_to_webex_teams.lambda_function_arn}"
}

lambda_iam_role_name	IAM role name for lambda functions.	no	"lambda-sns-to-webex-teams"
lambda_iam_policy_name	IAM policy name for lambda functions.	no	"lambda-sns-to-webex-teams-policy"

Output variables

Variable	Description
lambda_function_arn	AWS Lambda notifier function ARN.

Examples

minimal

The minimal example is located at examples/minimal. It builds no extra AWS resources except a CloudWatch alarm for AWS Lambda's duration metric.

Building steps

1. Move to the examples/minimal directory.

   $ cd examples/minimal

2. Copy secrets.tfvars.example to secrets.tfvars and fill in the values.

   $ cp secrets.tfvars.example secrets.tfvars
   $ # Edit secrets.tfvars using your favorite editor.

   region = "<region>"
   webex_teams_bearer_token = "abc123"

3. Execute the following commands to build resources using Terraform.

   $ terraform init
   $ terraform plan -var-file=terraform.tfvars -var-file=secrets.tfvars
   $ terraform apply -var-file=terraform.tfvars -var-file=secrets.tfvars

Destroying resources

To destory AWS resources created by the above steps, execute the following command in examples/minimal directory.

$ terraform destroy -var-file=terraform.tfvars -var-file=secrets.tfvars

Testing

To test notification, use awscli cloudwatch set-alarm-state as following.

$ AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=<ACCESS_KEY> \
  AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=<SECRET> \
  AWS_DEFAULT_REGION=<REGION> \
    aws cloudwatch set-alarm-state \
      --alarm-name lambda-duration \
      --state-value ALARM \
      --state-reason xyzzy

Development

The main AWS Lambda function code is located in sns-to-webex-teams/ directory. To prepare development, you need to create virtualenv for this project and install required pip packages as following.

$ virtualenv sns-to-webex-teams/virtualenv
$ source sns-to-webex-teams/virtualenv/bin/activate
$ pip install -r sns-to-webex-teams/requirements.txt

You need to create module/lambda/sns-to-webex-teams.zip to update the code as following.

$ source sns-to-webex-teams/virtualenv/bin/activate # if you haven't yet
$ ./build-function.sh

Testing

To test the function locally, just run lambda_function.py with some environment variables.

$ WEBEX_TEAMS_BEARER_TOKEN="abv123" \
  CHANNEL_MAP=`echo '{"production-notices": "Y2lzY29zcGFyazovL3VzL1JPT00vMDA2ZjYzNzAtMWJlOS0xMWU4LTljNTUtOTMzZmEzYWJkNjYy"}' | base64` \
  python sns-to-webex-teams/lambda_function.py
