cloudwatch-log-minimal

Minimal implementation for pushing logs to "Amazon Cloudwatch Log" service in Java.

Supports group and stream creation.

Sync implementation, every push create a Http request (be careful with many log events!).

For dev&test purpose.

Dependencies

• minimal-json
• slf4j

TODO's

• Better error handling
• Async & Logs pool (bulk invocation)

Example

CloudWatchLog cloudWatchLog = new CloudWatchLog();
cloudWatchLog.setAcessKeyId("AKI**************");
cloudWatchLog.setSecretKey("Abc22p**********************");
cloudWatchLog.setGroupName("MyLogGroupName");
cloudWatchLog.setStreamName("MyLogStreamName");
cloudWatchLog.setRegion("us-east-1");

cloudWatchLog.put("First line --> TEST!!");
cloudWatchLog.put("Second an last...");

Credits

• I used the project https://github.com/manheim/aws-request-signer with some modifications to replace Apache HttpClient with core Java HttpURLConnection.
