Amazon CloudWatch Logs template snippets (original) (raw)

Amazon CloudWatch Logs can monitor your system, application, and custom log files from Amazon EC2 instances or other sources. You can use AWS CloudFormation to provision and manage log groups and metric filters. For more information about Amazon CloudWatch Logs, see the Amazon CloudWatch Logs User Guide.

Topics

Send logs to CloudWatch Logs from a Linux instance

The following template describes a web server and its custom metrics. Log events from the web server's log provides the data for the custom metrics. To send log events to a custom metric, the UserData field installs a CloudWatch Logs agent on the Amazon EC2 instance. The configuration information for the agent, such as the location of the server log file, the log group name, and the log stream name, are defined in the/tmp/cwlogs/apacheaccess.conf file. The log stream is created after the web server starts sending log events to the/var/log/httpd/access_log file.

Note

A note about permissions: The WebServerHost instance references theLogRoleInstanceProfile instance profile, which in turn references the LogRole role. LogRole specifies thes3:GetObject permission for_arn:aws:s3:::*_.

This permission is required because WebServerHost downloads the CloudWatch Logs agent (awslogs-agent-setup.py) from Amazon S3 in theUserData section.

The two metric filters describe how the log information is transformed into CloudWatch metrics. The 404 metric counts the number of 404 occurrences. The size metric tracks the size of a request. The two CloudWatch alarms will send notifications if there are more than two 404s within 2 minutes or if the average request size is over 3500 KB over 10 minutes.

Send logs to CloudWatch Logs from a Windows instance

The following template configures CloudWatch Logs for a Windows 2012R2 instance.

The CloudWatch Logs agent on Windows (SSM agent on Windows 2012R2 and Windows 2016 AMIs) only sends logs after it's started, so any logs that are generated before startup aren't sent. To work around this, the template helps to ensure that the agent starts before any logs are written by:
