A CDK construct that sets up email notification for when you exceed a given AWS estimated charges amount.
Create this construct in any stack you find appropriate **with only a few lines**. This construct is an implementation of the manual
setup described on [AWS Estimated Charges Monitoring](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudWatch/latest/monitoring/gs_monitor_estimated_charges_with_cloudwatch.html).
## Get Started
### Pre-Requisites
> **IMPORTANT!** Only complete **_Step 1: Enable Billing Alerts_** of the following documentation link. This construct will take
care of creating the rest of the resources for you.
You must first enable billing alerts from the AWS Console as per [documentation](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudWatch/latest/monitoring/gs_monitor_estimated_charges_with_cloudwatch.html#gs_turning_on_billing_metrics).
Billing alerts will allow your AWS account to start collecting billing metrics (`EstimatedCharges`) on a periodic 6-hour basis.
### Installation
#### [Node documentation](https://www.npmjs.com/package/aws-cdk-billing-alarm)
```shell
npm install --save aws-cdk-billing-alarm
```
#### [Python documentation](https://pypi.org/project/aws-cdk-billing-alarm/)
```shell
pip install aws-cdk-billing-alarm
```
### Usage
```typescript
import { Stack, StackProps } from 'aws-cdk-lib';
import { Construct } from 'constructs';
import { BillingAlarm } from 'aws-cdk-billing-alarm';
class CdkStack extends Stack {
constructor(scope: Construct, id: string, props?: StackProps) {
super(scope, id, props);
// Create an alarm that emails `[email protected]`
// if estimated charges exceed 50 USD
new BillingAlarm(this, 'AWSAccountBillingAlarm', {
monthlyThreshold: 50,
emails: ['[email protected]'],
});
}
}
```
### Post-Deployment
Confirm the subscription to the newly created topic for the emails you specified as endpoints in `BillingAlarmProps`.
You can do so by clicking on the `SubscribeURL` of the JSON email you received.
> **Note**: If you did not receive the email, you can fire a **Request confirmation** for the subscription from the AWS SNS Console.
