This project is a Python-based tool that sends a daily plaintext email summarizing key AWS environment metrics and alerts. It is modular, configurable, and intended for solo or small-team AWS accounts that want automated visibility into infrastructure health, security, and cost.
- ✅ Daily billing breakdown (Cost Explorer)
- ✅ New Security Hub findings
- ✅ Route 53 health check status
- ✅ CloudWatch alarms triggered in the last 24 hours
- ✅ S3 bucket access/encryption audit
- ✅ Expiring ACM certificates (next 30 days)
- ✅ AWS Config non-compliant resources
- ✅ CloudFront distribution changes (last 48h)
- ✅ WAF blocked request summary (regional)
The program is configured to be modular and accept new sections to the
report as needed. To create a new section, simply create the
new_section.py script inside the sections/ directory and update the
sections variable inside the config.toml file.

Edit config.toml to configure your AWS, email, and report options:
[aws]
profile = "default"
region = "us-east-1"
[email]
from = "[email protected]"
to = ["[email protected]"]
subject = "Daily AWS Report"
[recipients]
emails = [
"[email protected]"
]
[report]
sections = [
"acm"
]If you do not already have an AWS profile (e.g., default), then you
will need to install the AWS CLI and configure a profile first:
aws configure --profile defaultUse Python to run the report and send the email:
python main.pyOr, if you're using uv (which will auto-install dependencies and create a virtual environment):
uv run main.pyEmails are plaintext with ASCII-formatted tables (via tabulate).
Python 3.11+ is recommended. Install dependencies using:
pip install -r requirements.txt
# or if you're using uv:
uv syncYou may need to install:
boto3tabulate
Ensure your IAM user or role has read access to:
- Cost Explorer
- Security Hub
- S3, CloudFront, CloudWatch
- Route 53, ACM, Config, WAF
- SES (if sending emails from within AWS)
Each section is defined in a file under sections/ and implements a:
def get_section(config) -> str:
...You can add, remove, or modify these sections in config.toml.
Here's an example of the output in plain text format.
Expiring TLS Certificates:
No certs expiring in the next 30 days.
CloudFront Changes:
No distributions changed in the last 48h.
CloudWatch Alarms:
No alarms triggered in the last 24h.
