whereisaaron/fluentd-kubernetes-cloudwatch repository overview

⁠Fluentd image to send Kubernetes logs to CloudWatch

Gratefully forked from https://github.com/callstats-io/fluentd-kubernetes-cloudwatch⁠

The changes are to make the deployment more automated and configurable.

⁠Deployment

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

2. Set environment variables for the AWS IAM user including region

export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=<your key>
export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=<your secret>
export AWS_DEFAULT_REGION=<your region>

1. Optionally set other environment variable to change resource names or 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. Run Deploy.sh to create the Secret, ConfigMap, and DaemonSet

2. 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
