Ansible CloudWatch Logs Role

Ansible CloudWatch Logs Role

An Ansible role for forwarding log files to CloudWatch.

You can opt to forward one or many log files to CloudWatch; each file may use a different datetime format and belong to a different log group.

Prerequisites

aws-cloudwatch-logs assumes you are using an official Ubuntu AMI, and it obviously only makes sense to run within EC2. Sorry if this doesn't fit your use case.

Usage

Include the aws-cloudwatch-logs role in your playbook yml like this:

- role: aws-cloudwatch-logs
  logs:
    - file: /var/log/syslog
      format: "%b %d %H:%M:%S"
      group_name: syslog
    - file: /var/log/my_cool_log
      format: "%b %d %H:%M:%S"
      group_name: my-cool-log
