TaskDefinition CDK and LogConfiguration

Question

Hello All

I am trying to accomplish the following

> If you are using the Fargate launch type for your tasks, all you need to do to turn on the awslogs log driver is add the required logConfiguration parameters to your task definition.

I am using CDK to generate the FargateTaskDefn

```
task_definition = _ecs.FargateTaskDefinition(self, "TaskDefinition",
                                                 cpu=2048,
                                                 memory_limit_mib=4096,
                                                 execution_role=ecs_role,
                                                 task_role = ecs_role,
                                                 )
    task_definition.add_container("getFileTask",
                                  memory_limit_mib = 4096,
                                  cpu=2048,
                                  image = _ecs.ContainerImage.from_asset(directory="assets", file="Dockerfile-ecs-file-download"))
```

I looked up the documentation and did not find the any attribute called logConfiguration.

What am I missing?

I am not able to send the logs from Container running on ECS/Fargate to Cloudwatch and what is needed is to enable this logConfiguration option in the task defn.

Thank you for your help. Regards

*logging* property in *ContainerDefinitionOptions* passed to ContainerDefinitionOptions.

[This](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cdk/api/v1/docs/@aws-cdk_aws-ecs.ContainerDefinitionOptions.html#logging) is where it is documented.

Sample Code(nodeJs):

```
taskDefinition.addContainer('Container', {
    image: ecs.ContainerImage.fromEcrRepository(
        respository,`1.0`),
    logging: ecs.LogDrivers.awsLogs({ streamPrefix: 'my-log-group', logRetention: 30 }),
});

```

Answer

Finally figured out the logging option in add_container is the on that sends it to cloudwatch.
