cloudwatch-to-papertrail

Lambda to send logs from Cloudwatch to Papertrail

Usage

Create lambda function and streams logs from the specified log group to this function:

$ export AWS_DEFAULT_REGION=us-east-1
$ export HOST=logs.papertrailapp.com PORT=1234
$ export DATADOG=1234567890abcdef1234567890abcdef12345678
$ APP=helium PROGRAM=lambda LOG_GROUP=/aws/lambda/helium_transform make

NOTE: Datadog API key, not APP key

NOTE: Metric logs should be in the following format. 2016-08-05T15:20:11.819Z - info: parse: message metric#time=39 metric#tag#valid=1. The metrics sent will be helium.lambda.parse.time with tag valid:1

To update existing lambda function:

$ export HOST=logs.papertrailapp.com PORT=1234
$ export DATADOG=1234567890abcdef1234567890abcdef12345678
$ APP=helium PROGRAM=lambda make deploy

To stream another log group to already existing lambda:

$ export AWS_DEFAULT_REGION=us-east-1
$ APP=helium PROGRAM=lambda LOG_GROUP=/aws/lambda/helium_compose make log
