Setting up FireLens log file routing for containers with AWS App2Container

When you set up your application containers to use FireLens for Amazon ECS you can route your application logs to CloudWatch, Kinesis Data Streams, or Firehose for log storage and analytics. After you have configured the FireLens settings in your application analysis and deployment JSON files, App2Container creates the artifacts that you need to deploy your application to Amazon EC2 or AWS Fargate. This includes:

  • Creation of initial Kinesis Data Streams or Firehose streams, if applicable

  • Creation of an IAM role with the permissions needed to enable FireLens log routing to the destinations that you have specified

  • Deployment artifacts that contain the FireLens parameters that you specified in your JSON configuration files, including the Amazon ECS task definition and AWS CloudFormation template files

For more information about using FireLens for Amazon ECS, see Custom log routing in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide.

Note

App2Container initially supports FireLens log file routing for Amazon ECS for Linux containers only.
