cdk-events-notify

What it is and what it does

cdk-events-notify is an AWS CDK Construct Library that bridges CloudTrail events and Slack notifications. It watches for console login and role-switch events in your AWS account and automatically triggers Lambda functions to post alerts to a Slack channel via webhook. The library abstracts away the EventBridge and Lambda plumbing, letting you declare the notification pipeline as a single CDK construct.

The package currently supports Slack webhooks only; Line Notify support was removed as of this version due to LINE's service shutdown. It requires Management events to be enabled in CloudTrail and operates within a single AWS region—cross-region console logins will not be captured. The construct depends on aws-cdk-lib, constructs, jsii, and publication, all standard CDK ecosystem libraries.

Use it for:

• Alert your security team immediately when someone logs into the AWS console, reducing detection time for unauthorized access.
• Monitor role-switch events to track privilege escalation or lateral movement within your AWS environment.
• Integrate CloudTrail login events into your existing Slack-based incident response workflow.
• Audit and log all console access attempts by forwarding events to a dedicated Slack channel for compliance review.

Worth the install?

AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying

An AWS CDK Construct Library that automatically sends Slack notifications when console login or role-switch events are detected in your AWS account via CloudTrail.

No. The package is abandoned (repository archived, last update 2026-06-16, marked maintenance status 'abandoned') and offers a narrow, single-purpose feature. For production security monitoring, use native AWS services (CloudTrail, EventBridge, SNS/SQS) directly or maintained third-party integrations. If you need exactly this functionality and can accept no future updates, the low install friction and permissive license make it technically usable, but the abandonment status is a significant risk for long-term deployments.

Install

cdk-events-notify on PyPI

pip install cdk-events-notify

uv add cdk-events-notify

poetry add cdk-events-notify

Installing cdk-events-notify

Before you install

Low install friction with a pure-Python wheel distribution. The package is marked abandoned as of the latest release, with the repository archived; it last received updates on 2026-06-16. Depends on aws-cdk-lib, constructs, jsii, and publication, all standard CDK ecosystem libraries.

License in practice

Licensed under Apache-2.0 (permissive), which allows commercial and private use with minimal restrictions. You may use, modify, and distribute the package provided you include the license notice.

Quickstart

# Install
pip install cdk-events-notify

# Usage in Python (translated from TypeScript example)
from aws_cdk import Stack, App
from cdk_events_notify import EventNotify

app = App()
stack = Stack(app, 'integ-stack')
EventNotify(stack, 'SlackEventNotify', slack={
    'slackChannelName': 'your-channel-name',
    'slackWebhookUrl': 'https://hooks.slack.com/services/xxx/xxx/xxx',
})

Requires Python 3.10 or later. You must enable Management events in CloudTrail for your AWS account, and EventBridge is region-specific—console logins outside the CDK stack's region will not trigger notifications.

Verify before relying

• Whether the package's abandonment affects long-term compatibility with future aws-cdk-lib releases.
• Confirmation that Line Notify removal (as of version 2.3.54) is final and no migration path exists for existing deployments.
• Whether the package handles concurrent or high-frequency login events without throttling or cost implications.
