aws-dashboard

A small script for rendering a dashboard or all your dashboards from CloudWatch.

Running from cli renders to a HTML file as inline PNGs. Or you can call get_dashboard_images and work on the returned list. This early example can be run eg via cron but a lambda version should be pretty quick to do as well.

Supply AWS credentials via an assigned role in IAM or environment variables.

Usage example: ./aws-dashboard.py all > foo.html

Logger runtime output will go to stderr.
