## Path of log file for the agent to monitor and upload.
file = /home/ec2-user/kiln/logs/app/*.log

## A batch is buffered for buffer-duration amount of time or 32KB of log events.
## Defaults to 5000 ms and its minimum value is 5000 ms.
buffer_duration = 5000

# Use 'end_of_file' to start reading from the end of the file.
# Use 'start_of_file' to start reading from the beginning of the file.
initial_position = start_of_file

## Name of the destination log group.
log_group_name = /kiln/logs/app

## Name of the destination log stream. You may use {hostname} to use target machine's hostname.
log_stream_name = {instance_id}

## Format specifier for timestamp parsing
## ex: 2015-08-03 19:32:02.592545
datetime_format = %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S.%f

was getting unable to open database file in logs

Fix

$ sudo mkdir -p /var/awslogs/state

$ sudo service awslogs start
$ sudo chkconfig awslogs on
# check /var/log/awslogs.log for issues

Next, test run: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudWatch/latest/DeveloperGuide/EC2NewInstanceCWL.html

then take what's learned there and start the CF Template

[samkeen]

This needs to go AFTER the run of init-config.php (it creates the files we'll be moving)

## Additions to template

mv /etc/awslogs/awslogs.conf /etc/awslogs/awslogs.conf.stock
mv /etc/awslogs/awscli.conf /etc/awslogs/awscli.conf.stock
mkdir -p /var/awslogs/state

mv /home/ec2-user/kiln/config/cloudwatchLogs/awscli.conf /etc/awslogs/awscli.conf
mv /home/ec2-user/kiln/config/cloudwatchLogs/awslogs.conf /etc/awslogs/awslogs.conf

service awslogs start
chkconfig awslogs on
