awsinsights
================

Get and filter logs from multiple log groups of AWS CloudWatch and filter CloudWatch logs using predefined regular expressions. 

This script uses [AWS CloudWatch Insights](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudWatch/latest/logs/AnalyzingLogData.html) service.

Install
-----------
`awsinsights` is released to public PyPI - [awsinsights](https://pypi.org/project/awsinsights/). It can be installed using this command:
```
pip install awsinsights
```

Basic Usage
-----------
1. Set up AWS Credentials.

2. **Define apps** (sets of CloudWatch log groups assigned to app name) in `$HOME/.awsinsights.json`
   file. See [example file](#example-of-config-file) below.

3. **Get all logs from the `simplebook` app (2 log groups pre-defined) since last 30 minutes**:
```
awsinsights --timedelta 30m --appname simplebook
```

4. **Filter logs from `simplebook` app since last 7d containing words 'Monday' or
   'Tuesday'** (you can use any Regular Expression in )
```
awsinsights --timedelta 7d --appname simplebook --filter "Monday|Tuesday"
```


Advanced Usage
-----------

1. **Get logs from `simplebook` from 1 Jan 2021 10:00am to 2 Jan 2021 9:00am
   which contain 'Exception' or 'ERROR' on PROD environment**
```
awsinsights --env prod --start 2021-01-01 10:00:00 --end 2021-01-02 09:00:00 --appname simplebook --filter "Exception|ERROR"
```

2. **Get all logs from CloudWatch log groups `group-one-dev` and `/aws/lambda/group-two-dev` since last 2 hours:**

```
awsinsights --timedelta 2h --log_groups "group-one-dev" "/aws/lambda/group-two-dev"
```

Tail mode
-----------

awsinsights allows to listen CloudWatch in live mode which is called `tail
mode`. 

It can be activated using `--tail` option. 

Example - listening for ERRORs and Exceptions in tail mode:
```
awsinsights --timedelta 30m --appname simplebook --filter "ERROR|Exception" --tail
```

NOTE: Please notice that there might be **few mins delay** between the time when log really happened 
and the time when it will appear in output of awsinsights' `tail mode`.



Example of config file
-----------

**Config file should be placed in `$HOME/.awsinsights.json`**

This example file contains 2 apps: `simplebook` and `secondapp`. 
Each app consits of 2 CloudWatch log groups.

```
{
    "simplebook": [
        "/aws/lambda/simple-books-catalog-api-$ENV",
        "/aws/lambda/api-task-2-ad"
    ],
    "secondapp": [
        "first-log-group",
        "/aws/lambda/second-log-group"
    ]
}
```

Output file
-----------

Logs will be written to output file. Output file will be:
* `/tmp/{appname}.log` **if app name is defined** using `--appname` option OR
* `/tmp/awsinsights.log` **if app name is NOT defined**
