Alephant::Logger::Cloudwatch

AWS CloudWatch driver for the alephant-logger gem.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'alephant-logger-cloudwatch'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install alephant-logger-cloudwatch

Usage

require "alephant/logger"
require "alephant/logger/cloudwatch"

cloudwatch_driver = Alephant::Logger::CloudWatch.new(:namespace => "my_namespace")

logger = Alephant::Logger.setup cloudwatch_driver
logger.metric("FooBar", :unit => "Count", :value => 1)

You can also prefill in default values when creating a new instance of the logger (and still override individual settings for each logger call):

require "alephant/logger"
require "alephant/logger/cloudwatch"

# Define defaults
cloudwatch_driver = Alephant::Logger::CloudWatch.new(
  :namespace  => "my_namespace",
  :unit       => "Count",
  :value      => 1,
  :dimensions => { :foo => "bar" }
)

logger = Alephant::Logger.setup cloudwatch_driver

# Override specific settings for this logger call
logger.metric("FooBar", :unit => "Percent", :value => 2)

# Use predefined defaults
logger.metric("BazQux")
