如何将自定义事件字符串写入Aws cloudwatch日志

Question

I have spent hours digging through Aws documentation, and I cannot find ac# 'hello world' type sample showing how to programmatically write something simple (like a string or something similar) to Aws cloud watch logs. Perhaps I am not looking in the right place, but Amazon's sdk documentation and code samples seems to be lacking. Anyone have a link to the (probably) 10 lines of code I need?

Answer 1

After some time I have come to the conclusion that there is no simple way to write individual events to AWS in an atomic fashion. You can write a single event to a logfile, and send that to AWS. However, AWS really isn't the tool for streaming logs to a repository in real time. There are much better providers available for performing actions like that.

Answer 2

Yo can simply write it to the file, and then read it from file with the help of AWS logs agent. Here is the link that explains how to configure your EC2 instance to do that.

Cloudwatch supports integration with a few common logging frameworks - https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/developer/amazon-cloudwatch-logs-and-net-logging-frameworks/

You can find configuration samples in their github repo - https://github.com/aws/aws-logging-dotnet
