Logback appender for AWS CloudWatch

CloudWatch Logback Appender

Send logs to Amazon CloudWatch Logs.

The appender, internally, uses an asynchronous bounded FIFO log queue for CloudWatch communication. Data encoding and submission is managed using a dedicated thread. After data submission, if the log queue contains at least minLogSize, then new data is submitted immediately, else it waits for maxLogSize data in FIFO or for logPollTimeMillis timeout.

Requirements:

• Amazon IAM user with 'CloudWatchLogsFullAccess' (arn:aws:iam::aws:policy/CloudWatchLogsFullAccess) policy
