Can't send logs to CloudWatch without using aws lambda functions.

[slim-hmidi]

I'm trying to send logs to cloudWatch without using pinoLambda libraries because I don't have any lambda functions in my project and I wrote this code:

import pino, { Logger } from 'pino';
import type { Level } from 'pino';
import PinoCloudWatch from 'pino-cloudwatch';

type CreateLoggerType = {
  serviceName?: string;
  functionName?: string;
  level?: Level;
};

const createLogger = ({
  serviceName,
  level = (process.env.LOG_LEVEL ?? 'debug') as Level,
  functionName,
}: CreateLoggerType = {}): Logger => {

  stream = PinoCloudWatch({
    group: 'test,
    aws_access_key_id: process.env.AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID,
    aws_secret_access_key: process.env.AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY,
    interval: 1000,
    aws_region: 'eu-central-1',
  });

  const logger = pino(
    {
      level: level,
      base: {
        service: serviceName,
        functionName,
      },
      serializers: pino.stdSerializers,
    }, stream
  );

  return logger;
};

const logger = createLogger();

I know that pino-cloudwatch is not maintained by pino community but I tried to find another solution for this issue and I haven't found something in the documentation that can help me to accomplish my goal. Is there any suggestion or example to send logs to cloudWatch?

What's your setup? What AWS service are you using to deploy your code?

@mcollina the code is deployed using AWS ECS.

You can configure AWS to send all logs to cloudwatch logs by default:
