lambda-papertrail

This is lambda-papertrail, a Lambda function to forward logs from CloudWatch to Papertrail. It is built with the Serverless Framework, and is a perfect companion to the serverless-log-forwarding plugin.

Getting Started

Install Node 12.x, Docker, and the AWS CLI. Then clone this repository & install dependencies:

# Install dependencies
npm install

# Run local tests:
npm test

Next, configure serverless-dev (for dev & QA stages) and serverless-production IAM roles:

$ aws configure --profile serverless-dev
AWS Access Key ID [None]: **************
AWS Secret Access Key [None]: **************
Default region name [None]: us-east-1
Default output format [None]: text

$ aws configure --profile serverless-production
AWS Access Key ID [None]: **************
AWS Secret Access Key [None]: **************
Default region name [None]: us-east-1
Default output format [None]: text

Finally, run either npm run deploy:dev, npm run deploy:qa, or npm run deploy:prod to deploy!

Usage

You can now easily forward logs from any other Serverless application with serverless-log-forwarding.

plugins:
  - serverless-log-forwarding

custom:
  logForwarding:
    destinationARN: ${cf:lambda-papertrail-${opt:stage}.ForwarderLambdaArn}

You can also manually attach a log group by clicking Actions → Stream to AWS Lambda from the CloudWatch Log Groups dashboard. Then just choose the appropriate destination Lambda function (e.g. lambda-papertrail-prod-forwarder) and configure a filter (or "Other" to forward all log messages).
