This should be simple so I'm hoping some can help with this quite quickly.
I have the following basic python script:
import boto3
elb = boto3.client('elb')
print(elb.describe_load_balancers())
When I execute this via a python script on the command line it works perfectly, returning all information for all load balancers.
The CLI command also works perfectly from the command line:
aws elb describe-load-balancers
However when I add the script into AWS's Lambda function it fails. This is how the script looks in AWS lambda:
import boto3
def lambda_handler(event, context):
elb = boto3.client('elb')
return elb.describe_load_balancers()
Which should work like the others returning all the load balancers data, however it returns this error:
{
"stackTrace": [

250,
"dumps",

],

207,
"encode",
"chunks = self.iterencode(o, _one_shot=True)"
],

270,
"iterencode",
"return _iterencode(o, 0)"
],
[

"decimal_serializer",
"raise TypeError(repr(o) + \" is not JSON serializable\")"
]
],
"errorType": "TypeError",
"errorMessage": "datetime.datetime(2013, 7, 26, 15, 35, 57, 690000, tzinfo=tzlocal()) is not JSON serializable"
}
I have been pulling my hair out all day with this so far and can't work out what is wrong, so any help would be appreciated.
As an extra note I was able to get this function working in AWS lambda just fine:
import boto3
def lambda_handler(event, context):
elb = boto3.client('elb')
return elb.describe_tags(LoadBalancerNames=[event['loadBalancer']])
As you may notice in the above command I have specifed the load balancer instead of all of them, I have tried this with the other function too but with no luck.
I was digging same references with Jim.P's and trying on my account. this answer gave me the correct result with proper implementation:
import boto3
import json
import datetime
from time import mktime
class MyEncoder(json.JSONEncoder):
def default(self, obj):
if isinstance(obj, datetime.datetime):
return int(mktime(obj.timetuple()))
return json.JSONEncoder.default(self, obj)
def lambda_handler(event, context):
elb = boto3.client('elb')
return json.dumps(elb.describe_load_balancers(), cls = MyEncoder)
This looks like it may be "python" specific, and the reason it probably works on your local machine is you have a python library that is not included in your lambda function.
