Broken Link Checker

Broken Link Checker is a tool deployed at AWS and can help you monitor your page protect you from hyper-link failure.

The broken link checker was implemented base on AWS Synthetics, but it is slightly different compare with the native one provided by AWS. It is a more precise version of the broken link checker.

What's different compare with the native one?

This revised version will not dive into the page to check sub-links which is not in the domains we are willing to check.

For example, We got a page that referenced an external link like apple.com.

• This revised broken link checker will check apple.com but will not check any sub-links inside the apple.com.
• The native implementation will check apple.com as well as the sub-links inside the apple.com as long as the limit(depth) has been set big enough.

How to use it?

• Mutating deployments/prod/parameters.yml file to fulfill your requirements. Change the TagetUrls to the URL list you are willing to check, multi-value are supported, just separate the list with a comma(,).
• Authenticating to you AWS account(exported AWS_SESSION_TOKEN, AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY, AWS_DEFAULT_REGION, AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID in your terminal).
• Deploy Broken Link Checker by execute auto/deploy prod
