# ecs-watchdog

Post a Slack notification to a channel when an AWS ECS task goes into an unexpected `STOPPED` status.

A project by [Elastic Byte](https://elasticbyte.net). Built with :heart: in :guitar: Nashville.

## Installation

1. Create a AWS Lambda function named `ecs-watchdog` using the Node.js 12.X runtime. Set the basic setting timeout to something reasonable like `10 seconds` from the default to allow for Slack API slowness.

2. Create a webhook in Slack and set the environment variable `SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL` in the AWS Lambda function.

3. Navigate to CloudWatch and then to `Events => Rules`. Create a new rule with the following:
