How to send specific set of logs from systemd journals logs to cloudwatch logs

Question

I use journalctl -fu service to see the logs of a specific service. Is possible to sent systemd journal logs to cloudwatch logs?

Answer 1

I think this gist (Setting up aws log agent to send journalctl from DC/OS logs to Amazon Log Service) is what you are looking for.

Basically setup a EC2 utility daemon process to forward journald logs to AWS CloudWatch.
