Usar a API PutLogEvents para enviar logs de formato de métricas incorporadas criados manualmente

É possível enviar logs no formato de métricas incorporadas para o CloudWatch Logs usando a API PutLogEvents do CloudWatch Logs. Ao chamar PutLogEvents, você tem a opção de incluir o cabeçalho HTTP apresentado a seguir, que informa ao CloudWatch Logs que as métricas devem ser extraídas, mas isso não é obrigatório.

x-amzn-logs-format: json/emf

Veja a seguir um exemplo completo usando o AWS SDK for Java 2.x:

package org.example.basicapp;

import software.amazon.awssdk.regions.Region;
import software.amazon.awssdk.services.cloudwatchlogs.CloudWatchLogsClient;
import software.amazon.awssdk.services.cloudwatchlogs.model.DescribeLogStreamsRequest;
import software.amazon.awssdk.services.cloudwatchlogs.model.DescribeLogStreamsResponse;
import software.amazon.awssdk.services.cloudwatchlogs.model.InputLogEvent;
import software.amazon.awssdk.services.cloudwatchlogs.model.PutLogEventsRequest;

import java.util.Collections;

public class EmbeddedMetricsExample {
        public static void main(String[] args) {

                final String usage = "To run this example, supply a Region code (eg. us-east-1), log group, and stream name as command line arguments"
                                + "Ex: PutLogEvents <region-id> <log-group-name> <stream-name>";

                if (args.length != 3) {
                        System.out.println(usage);
