⚡️ Serverless Logstreaming Plugin

About

This Serverless plugin allows for simple streaming of logs through a given function with the popular Serverless Framework and AWS Lambda.

Configuration

Currently this plugin ONLY works with the AWS provider.

1. Add serverless-logstreaming to your serverless.yml file in the root of your serverless project

plugins:
  - serverless-logstreaming

2. Define your loghandler function:

functions:
  myLogHandler:
    description: 'CW Logs handler for Tasks'
    handler: handlers/myLogHandler/handler.handler

3. Reference the name of your loghandler function in the custom section:

custom:
  logHandler:
    function: myLogHandler

And that's all it takes. Now the logs of all your lambda functions will stream through that loghandler.

If you have a function where you don't want to stream logs through the loghandler it's as simple as adding an exception:

functions:
  handlerToNotStream:
    description: 'This lambda should not stream logs'
    loghandler: false

That loghandler: false will exempt this lambda from streaming through the loghandler function.

Changelog

• 1.1.0 - Add logstreaming permission by default instead of requiring user to do so, add flexibility in naming
• 1.0.0 - Initial commit.
