CloudWatch Log

CloudWatch Logs lets you collect and monitor log data from AWS resources and applications. With a subscription filter, osls can wire a cloudwatchLog event to a Lambda function so that the function is invoked with log events delivered from a log group.

Simple event definition

This will enable your Lambda function to be called by a Log Stream.

functions:
  myCloudWatchLog:
    handler: myCloudWatchLog.handler
    events:
      - cloudwatchLog: '/aws/lambda/hello'

WARNING: If you specify several CloudWatch Log events for one AWS Lambda function you'll only see the first subscription in the AWS Lambda Web console. This is a known AWS problem but it's only graphical, you should be able to view your CloudWatch Log Group subscriptions in the CloudWatch Web console.

Specifying a filter

Here's an example how you can specify a filter rule.

For more information about the filter pattern syntax, see Filter and Pattern Syntax

functions:
  myCloudWatchLog:
    handler: myCloudWatchLog.handler
    events:
      - cloudwatchLog:
          logGroup: '/aws/lambda/hello'
          filter: '{$.userIdentity.type = Root}'

Swapping log group subscriptions

Update your serverless.yml file as follows and run osls deploy.

functions:
  hello1:
    handler: handler.hello1
    events:
      - cloudwatchLog: '/aws/lambda/hello1'
  hello2:
    handler: handler.hello2
    events:
      - cloudwatchLog: '/aws/lambda/hello2'

Next up, edit serverless.yml and swap out the logGroup names. After that run osls deploy again (the deployment will fail).

functions:
  hello1:
    handler: handler.hello1
    events:
      - cloudwatchLog: '/aws/lambda/hello2'
  hello2:
    handler: handler.hello2
    events:
      - cloudwatchLog: '/aws/lambda/hello1'
