• Instance Count Turns "Red" If Events Are Scheduled
• List Of Events By Instance ID

• Elastic IP Count Per Region
• Elastic IP Count Turns Red If Any Elastic IPs Are Unattached

Install - Python Requirements

You will need to install the following python modules, I prefer to use pip to install my python modules:

• sudo pip install flask
• sudo pip install boto

Configuration

Copy the config_example.py to config.py:

cp config_example.py config.py

Then you will need to edit the config.py file and change the following values:

• AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID
• AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY
• region_list

Starting The Flask Web Interface

Now you should be ready to start the flask web interface, by simply typing the following command:

python service.py

This will start a web interface which will be listening on port 5000. If you look at the last line of the service.py file you will notice the following line:

app.run(host='0.0.0.0')

This determines which IP you want the app to listen on, for testing you might as well have it listen on any IP.

Configure For Apache

That really is out of the scope of this document, if you wish to configure flask to use Apache you should refer to the flask documentation here:
