How can I add timestamp to the output from AWS CLI in windows in command prompt?

I am unable to add timestamp to the output from AWS CLI in log file

I have tried through awk but its giving me error

aws s3 --output text sync localPath s3://bucketName --endpoint-url https://s3-vpcurl.com | awk '{ print strftime("[%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S]"), $0 }' >> C:\syncFromS3\NASToS3-Log.txt

awk: cmd. line:1: { print strftime([%Y-%m-%d
awk: cmd. line:1:                  ^ syntax error

I wanted to print the logs along with the timestamp in my log file.

for example:-

[2024-04-22 12:20:38] Completed 440 Bytes/949.5 KiB (382 Bytes/s) with 6 file(s) remaining
[2024-04-22 12:20:38] upload: ..\..\syncFromS3\result_90.csv to s3://s3BucketName/IndexFilesCSV/Results/result_90.csv

or is there any other way to do this?

Any help will be appreciated.

Solution

  • awk expects the format string for strftime to be quoted

    try

    aws s3 --output text sync localPath s3://bucketName --endpoint-url https://s3-vpcurl.com | awk '{ print strftime("[%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S]"), $0 }' >> C:\\syncFromS3\\NASToS3-Log.txt

    Make sure the redirection uses double backslashes as path separator on windows.
