sergii/fluentd-kubernetes-cloudwatch repository overview

⁠Fluentd image to send Kubernetes logs to CloudWatch

⁠Deployment

1. Create AWS IAM user which has permission to store logs to CloudWatch

2. Optionally set environment variable to change the default resource names and labels

• NAMESPACE defaults to 'kube-system'
• APP_NAME defaults to 'fluentd-cloudwatch'
• SECRET_NAME,CONFIG_NAME default to APP_NAME
• ENV_NAME defaults to 'system'
• CW_LOG_GROUP defaults to 'kubernetes-cluster'

1. Set environment variables for the AWS IAM user and CloudWatch region or set them just when running deploy.sh in the next step

export LOGGING_AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=<your key>
export LOGGING_AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=<your secret>
export LOGGING_AWS_REGION=<your region>

1. Run deploy.sh to create the Secret, ConfigMap, and DaemonSet, setting the AWS IAM user and CloudWatch region environments variables if you did not export them in the previous step.

LOGGING_AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=<your key> LOGGING_AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=<your secret> LOGGING_AWS_REGION=<your region> ./deploy.sh

1. Run display.sh to check everything is running

⁠Removal

1. If you set custom values for the namespace or resource name environment variables, ensure they are still set to your values (NAMESPACE,APP_NAME,SECRET_NAME,CONFIG_NAME)

2. Run delete.sh

3. Run display.sh to check nothing is left
