Support for notification via SNS about simianarmy HOT 12 CLOSED

We're currently using a Lambda hook from CloudTrail to generate SNS notifications of any terminations of ec2 instances (whether by Chaos Monkey, or chaos-lambda, or whatever). Thus, the lack of SNS output from Chaos Monkey is now a non-issue for us.

Seems to be a far nicer approach.

I was looking for the same thing. Currently implementing this in my fork as well. If I get it working anytime soon I'll do a pull request.

Hi Lantrix,

Any updates on this implementations? This is something that would useful in my infrastructure setup as well.

Supporting SNS would indeed be cool as it'd allow sending notifications to Slack etc.

I'm also thinking about a different approach: writing a small (Go) service that forwards events returned by the REST API to SNS, Slack, etc.

We had just stuck with email notifications, as we decided to re-write the SimianArmy components we are using as AWS lambda functions; so no further improvements on the code at this time.

@lantrix it would be great if you can open-source it after it will reach some more or less usable state.

but i afraid this is out of scope for this issue/repo ;)

Actually email is quite sufficient for some cases, for example: Slack has an email integration, and you can put emails to SNS using emails sent to SES.

@algra Slack does indeed have an email integration. Thanks for the tip!

Open Source Lambda-based Chaos-Monkey-like functionality: https://github.com/bbc/chaos-lambda

It currently lacks SNS notifications but I would be very interested in adding them.

@algra despite deciding to re-write using lamda; we are still using SimianArmy as of today. If I get tasked to re-work on that I'll make sure SNS is at the top of my list -> as we would also use that to push to Lambda and publish to slack instead of the email trail we get now.

@rvedotrc - could you share with me how you setup your Lambda function to monitor the cloudtrail log for api calls when any of your auto-scaling groups have an ec2 termination, please? I'm a lambda novice, and am unable to utilize the simian army built in AWS:SES email notifications outside of the sandbox env as i don't have console access to verify my source/dest emails in nonProd envs...so am very interested in your work around. Thank you!!
