Bug Report

The CloudWatch agent does not appear to utilize the file named /root/.aws/credentials as a credential source. The logs below show that the credential file is being used for "outputs" configuration but is not being used by some number of "inputs" configurations in particular [inputs.prometheus_scraper.ecs_service_discovery.service_name_list_for_tasks].

Evidence of credential file being used by "output" - from the logs you can see shared_credential_file is set to shared_credential_file = "/root/.aws/credentials".

[outputs]

  [[outputs.cloudwatchlogs]]
    force_flush_interval = "5s"
    log_stream_name = "7eccfaad73e7"
    profile = "AmazonCloudWatchAgent"
    region = "us-west-2"
    shared_credential_file = "/root/.aws/credentials"
    tagexclude = ["metricPath"]
    [outputs.cloudwatchlogs.tagpass]
      metricPath = ["logs"]

And evidence that the file is not being used by inputs despite being available:

From the logs you can see no evidence that shared_credential_file = "/root/.aws/credentials" is used.

[inputs]

  [[inputs.prometheus_scraper]]
    cluster_name = "test"
    prometheus_config_path = "/etc/cwagentprometheusconfig/prometheus.yaml"
    [inputs.prometheus_scraper.ecs_service_discovery]
      sd_cluster_region = "us-west-2"
      sd_frequency = "1m"
      sd_result_file = "/tmp/cwagent_ecs_auto_sd.yaml"
      sd_target_cluster = "ecs-prometheus"

      [[inputs.prometheus_scraper.ecs_service_discovery.service_name_list_for_tasks]]
        sd_job_name = "prometheus-exporter"
        sd_metrics_path = "/metrics"
        sd_metrics_ports = "5000"
        sd_service_name_pattern = "prometheus-exporter"
    [inputs.prometheus_scraper.tags]
      log_group_name = "prometheus"
      metricPath = "logs"

Reproduction

To reproduce the error use the files contained within the "Config" section below.

Expected Output

The credentials from the credentials file should be used.

Actual Output

I saw the following errors followed by an application exit:

Environment

I am using the Docker Image public.ecr.aws/cloudwatch-agent/cloudwatch-agent:latest - which, at this moment, contains CloudWatch agent 1.247358.0.

Additional Context

None.

That's interesting. We'll have to dive a little deeper into it, but if I understand correctly, you are using a static file credential in your CloudWatch agent container, running on ECS? I don't think I've come across someone doing that yet, though I could see why someone would want to.

colinbjohnson commented 1 year ago

We actually mount the credentials file into the Docker container when running locally - we use this configuration for testing.
