EKS Logging Bestpractice

Question

Hi,

Can you suggest some best practise to centralised the logs from both EKS container & EKS pods to the CloudWatch?

Upon checking I have reference on [Fluent][1], is there any other official documentation/paper on how integrate EKS with CloudWatch?

Accepted Answer

Hi,

You can refer to this document page on running FluentD as Daemonset on EKS to send logs to cloudwatch logs,
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudWatch/latest/monitoring/Container-Insights-setup-logs.html.

for Quick Start Setup for Container Insights on Amazon EKS,
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudWatch/latest/monitoring/Container-Insights-setup-EKS-quickstart.html

And also, to help you customers get a hands on experience with using container insights on EKS  would recommend this workshop, 
https://observability.workshop.aws/en/containerinsights/eks.html

let me know if you have more questions.
