Python lambda function

This Amazon Lambda function grabs a list of domains from WHM manager and it checks one by one to discover if they have correctly set the meta tag robots with noindex/nofollow values. In the end, it sends an notification with AWS SNS.

The Lambda function is deployed by using the Zappa Framework. The default trigger for the function is a CloudWatch scheduled Event (every days from Mon to Fri at 0:00)

Getting started

1. Set up the following AWS Lambda environment variables:

   • WHM_URL: the WHM main url
   • WHM_USER: the WHM username (must be encrypted with the KMS key)
   • WHM_TOKEN: the WHM token to access the CPanel from remote source (must be encrypted with the KMS key)
   • TOPIC_ARN: the SNS topic where send the message with the list of "invalid" domains.

2. Install the Zappa framework pip install zappa

3. Optional: configure the Zappa framework from the zappa_settings.yml file

4. Deploy the Lambda function with the command zappa deploy run

N.B. If you want to test the function on your local machine, set-up a SERVERTYPE environment variable, so that the the KMS encryption is not applied.
