AWS CloudWatch Logs Cookbook

Runtime
License

Unofficial Chef Cookbook that install and configure AWS CloudWatch Logs
Agent and deploy it's configurations automatically.

Usage

Add this cookbook to your base recipe:

cookbook 'aws-cloudwatchlogs', '~> 1.1.7'

You need to configure the following node attributes via an environment or role:

default_attributes(
   'aws_cwlogs' => {
      'region' => 'your_aws_region',
      'aws_access_key_id' => 'your_aws_access_key',
      'aws_secret_access_key' => 'your_aws_secret_key',
      'log' => {
         'syslog' => {
            'datetime_format' => '%b %d %H:%M:%S',
            'file' => '/var/log/syslog',
            'buffer_duration' => '5000',
            'log_stream_name' => '{instance_id}',
            'initial_position' => 'start_of_file',
            'log_group_name' => '/var/log/syslog'
         }
      }
   }
)

Or you can also configure by declaring it in another cookbook at a higher precedence level:

default['aws_cwlogs']['region'] = 'your_aws_region'
default['aws_cwlogs']['aws_access_key_id'] = 'your_aws_access_key'
default['aws_cwlogs']['aws_secret_access_key'] = 'your_aws_secret_key'
default['aws_cwlogs']['log']['syslog'] = {
   'datetime_format' => '%b %d %H:%M:%S',
   'file' => '/var/log/syslog',
   'buffer_duration' => '5000',
   'log_stream_name' => '{instance_id}',
   'initial_position' => 'start_of_file',
   'log_group_name' => '/var/log/syslog'
}

Note: If you do not specify aws credentials, it will attempt to use the AWS IAM Role assigned to the instance instead.

Once you defined the attributes, you will need to reference aws_cwlogs resource in your recipe:

include_recipe 'aws-cloudwatchlogs'

aws_cwlogs 'syslog' do
  log node['aws_cwlogs']['log']['syslog']
end

aws_cwlogs 'messages' do
  log node['aws_cwlogs']['log']['messages']
end

This will create a unique configuration file in AWS CloudWatch Logs that will be stored in etc/config directory.

Remember: You can configure as many logs as you need with log attribute.

Note: We are not making use of data_bags for AWS Credentials in this recipe at this time.

Example

Those attributes used before will generate the AWS CloudWatch Logs configuration below:

[syslog]
datetime_format = %b %d %H:%M:%S
file = /var/log/syslog
buffer_duration = 5000
log_stream_name = {instance_id}
initial_position = start_of_file
log_group_name = /var/log/syslog
