cw-search

cw-search

Pulls data from a specified set of log streams in cloudwatch logs

Usage

To query CloudWatch Logs with this tool, you'll need to have...

1. AWS credentials set up either as environment variables (as in the example below) or in a aws credential file
2. A start and end time for your search formatted in YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS format

Example

$ export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=accessKeyId
$ export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=secretAccessKey
$ cw-search LogGroup1:LogStream1,[LogStreamN] -s "2015-04-07 00:00:00" -e "2015-04-07 23:59:59"

Can filter the fields in json:

$ cw-search --format json --fields name.first,address.country,address.state LogGroup:LogStream
{"name": {"first": "Thomas"}, "address": {"country": "United States", "state": "NC"}}

for other things, pipe to grep (for now):

cw-search LogGroup:LogStream | grep --color 'search str'
