I am using a custom config file to forward logs from ec2 to cloud watch but it is creating log stream with no data, can anyone suggest if anything is missing in the config file or any additions required.
packages:
yum:
amazon-cloudwatch-agent: []
files:
"/etc/awslogs/awscli.conf" :
mode: "000600"
owner: root
group: root
content: |
[plugins]
cwlogs = cwlogs
[default]
region = {"Ref":"AWS::Region"}
"/etc/awslogs/awslogs.conf" :
mode: "000600"
owner: root
group: root
content: |
[general]
state_file = /var/lib/awslogs/agent-state
"/opt/aws/amazon-cloudwatch-agent/etc/custom.json":
mode: "000600"
owner: root
group: root
content: |
{
"logs": {
"logs_collected": {
"files": {
"collect_list": [
{
"file_path": "/var/log/tomcat9/catalina.out",
"log_group_name": "{"Fn::Join":["/", ["/aws/elasticbeanstalk", { "Ref":"AWSEBEnvironmentName" }, "var/log/tomcat9/catalina.out"]]}",
"log_stream_name": "{instance_id}"
}
]
}
}
}
}
commands:
"091":
command: sudo systemctl enable amazon-cloudwatch-agent.service
"092":
command: sudo /opt/aws/amazon-cloudwatch-agent/bin/amazon-cloudwatch-agent-ctl -a append-config -m ec2 -c file:/opt/aws/amazon-cloudwatch-agent/etc/custom.json -s
"093":
command: sudo systemctl restart amazon-cloudwatch-agent
