4. Use Cloudwatch Logs for log aggregation

Date: 2017-10-11

Status

Accepted

Context

Logs are generated by each instance of a container. We need the ability to see and search across all instances.

Decision

We will use Cloudwatch Logs to aggregate our logs. We will utliize Cloudwatch Alarms to notify when ERROR logs are generated

Consequences

For now we just stream whatever is generated to STDOUT. Configuring the log agent to tail log files will need to be figured out.
