elb-dash

A self-updating ELB status board / dashboard built with React, Coffeescript and Node.js.

Quickstart

Take a look at config.js and mind the defaults.

Prepare a standard node.js environment, and Run these on a terminal:

m install
m install -g browser-sync
dir dist
dash.sh
S_REGION=your-region AWS_ACCESS_KEY=your-key AWS_SECRET_KEY=your-secret ./server.sh

You should have a local AWS proxy on port 8080 and your dashboard ready at http://localhost:3000. Enjoy!

How it works

This project is divided to a self updating web client, and a proxy backend.

Web client

The web client is built with a rapid-development stack using watchify, browserify and babel.

Running ./dash.sh will start a development server that watches and refreshes your browser as you work.

In any case the built files are in /dist so you can run production with these assets.

You can configure the backend url with proxy_url in the config.js file.

Configuration

Backend

We realize that in real-life, due to security concerns, companies don't really like calling AWS API directly, or don't like going through 3rd party for that.

This is why you get a smart AWS proxy that you can run within your own cloud or server farm, and everything stays secure.

The web client will connect to this proxy to get its own federated data.

Configuration:
