AWS Costs to Slack

This tool integrates with AWS to monitor service usage costs and posts a summary of these costs to a Slack channel. The summary includes costs for various AWS services along with a chart that provides a visual breakdown of the costs over time.

Features

  • Posts a detailed breakdown of AWS service costs to a Slack channel.
  • Provides cost summaries for key AWS services including EC2, DynamoDB, S3, RDS, and more.
  • Supports graphical representation of costs with a downloadable chart link.
  • Automated daily/weekly reporting to track AWS costs over time.

How It Works

  1. Cost Collection: The tool uses AWS APIs to gather the cost data for various AWS services.
  2. Slack Integration: The tool formats the cost data and posts it to a Slack channel using the provided Slack bot token and channel name.
  3. Chart Generation: The tool generates a visual chart for cost breakdown and includes a link to the chart in the Slack message.

Requirements

  • AWS Access Key & Secret: Needed to query AWS cost data.
  • Slack Bot Token: A token to allow the tool to post messages to a Slack workspace.
  • Slack Channel: The Slack channel where cost reports should be posted.
